Minolta XE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minolta XE, known as the XE-1 in Europe and the XE-7 in North America, is a manual focus, 35 mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Minolta of Japan between 1974 and 1977.[1] It was developed in collaboration with Leica and has many similarities to the Leica R3.
The XE uses a Leitz-Copal electronic, vertically-traveling, metal blade focal plane shutter supporting shutter speeds down to 1/1000 of a second. In aperture priority auto-exposure mode, the slowest shutter speed supported is 4 seconds, and the shutter speed is varied steplessly to give the correct exposure. In manual mode, the slowest selectable speed is 4 second, and shutter speeds can be selected in whole stop increments.
