Less well made than the LEICA, but a fraction of the price and weight, and easier and more fun to shoot, with a better finder. Electronic TTL.

LEICA CLE Review

Leitz Minolta CLE

1980-1985, 402g.

LEICA M3

LEICA M3: The World's Best 35mm Camera

1954-1967, 610g.

Leica's first M camera, advancing the older screw-mount cameras.

The M3 has Leica's highest-magnification finder ever made (0.91x), which makes it Leica's best finder for use with for 50mm, 90mm and 135mm lenses. It also covers 35mm lenses designed for the M3.

The M3 is the greatest LEICA. It has sold more than any other LEICA to this day. The LEICA M3 introduced many of the innovations we all take for granted. The M3 was years ahead of its time, and is still a fantastic camera today.
