Hi, I am just doing a bit a research to try establish the serial number range and maybe estimate the true number of manufacture of this particular model. If you could email me your serial numbers it would be greatly appreciated. Could you please indicate if you have a Minolta CL or a Leitz Minolta CL if you choose to email me. I may have to post this thread a few times to ensure it gets seen by all. Feel free to talk about your experiences with the cameras on this thread if you wish. (althought identical to Leica CL) Thanks again Joel

PS Does anyone have a 50th Aniversary CL? Would Love to hear from you too.

Have you checked the CameraQuest website maintained by Stephen Gandy? http://www.cameraquest.com/leicacl.htm

Yes, but Stephen covers the numbers for the Leica CL's not the Minolta derivatives and only estimates as to their numbers. I am just hoping to clarify this for the Minolta models. THanks

If you want to establish the serial number range why not contact Stephen Gandy and have him add a page for the Leitz Minolta CL camera's just like he did for the non-TTL M6 .85.

No its ok thanks, Stephen is a busy man and it could be months or years before he got around to it. I think I can cope on my own with the vast amont of emails I will get with this one! LOL
