minolta CLE
Any camera with the Leica system lenses will have great image quality... this is what the Leica M6 should have been, although doubts have been raised about the durability of the camera, due to the chrome-plated (then painted black) plastic body shell. One note - my example has a loose battery cover, which can slide open and let one of the batteries out - at 5 bucks a pop, not something you want to replace (the camera takes two A76 [AKA: SR44 or S76] batteries) very often. I've taped the battery cover shut, after losing a battery...

The Best M-Mount Rangefinder
This camera is incredibly good. I'm going to talk about the body of the CLE itself and the 40mm lens separately, since they aren't necessarily a package that come together. The body is fantastic. It's ergonomic and feels good in the hand. While it's not as heavy as some of the other m-mount rangefinders, it feels sturdy and very high quality. I've treated this camera gently so far, but I've heard that it can take a fair bit of abuse and still function well. The meter in this camera is to die for. I've been shooting in a lot of difficult lighting situations with various films (velvia 100, hp5, tri-x, delta 100, pan f 50) and all of these shots have been perfectly exposed. The viewfinder is bright with clearly defined lines. Focusing is easy. Everything is very clean here. The lens is the sharpest I've ever shot. As you know, the m-rokkor is a japanese summicron, and thusly you have a high quality for a fraction of the price. Focusing is smooth and precise, the lens has good contrast, and the glass is beautiful. I'm not too sure what else to say in regards to the specifics of this. I would buy both of these again in a heartbeat. It's been nothing but a joy to shoot this system.
