Check the listing for details. Minolta CLE Hand Grip STD & ARCA Type Swiss Type. Color: Black, Condition: New. Listed at 39.00 USD. Camera, Lens and Wrist Strap shown in photos are NOT included. NEW Arca Type or Swiss type Option (read below). Recent Review: Really nice grip! Fits perfectly, solid and feels reliable. Very comfortable to hold. Thank you for making this, and for selling at a reasonable price!I am a retired professional photographer and inventor with 75, currently, US patents and with dozens pending. Having some spare time, $5,000 CAD software (SolidWorks), five 3D printers (4 FDM & 1 SLA) and a love for photography has spawned many custom and unique camera parts. Check out my store!I am always trying to improve the design of things, especially the things I use often. Two of my favorite rangefinder cameras are the diminutive Leitz Minolta CL and the Minolta CLE. I went through almost two dozen prototypes, sometimes only changing a small feature, to make this design solid and complete. These are 3D printed in Tough PLA, PLA+ or PETG and are designed to be used with the standard 28mm, 40mm and 90mm lenses. Stainless steel hardware. Attachment screw is a custom machined screw. These designs are not just a stick placed on the right-hand side of the camera. The following design inputs were the driving factor in these grips. The Arca type or Swiss type (A-S) option has been added to the bases of both styles of grips. The A-S option adds bulk (plus material and print time-4 hours each) to the bottom of the grip. Because of the added bulk you may desire the slimmer Standard (STD) grip. All of the grips have the same features listed below. Minolta CLE:Does not have to be removed to change film. The grip remains attached to the camera when it is removed.Clearance for the film door to open completely.Batteries can be changed without removal of grip.All Controls are fully accessible.All settings are fully accessible.Film type fully accessible.Lens release not blocked.No focusing issues.Access to film wind button.Access to battery check button.No interference in film rewinding.Ergonomic.Secure handling.A wrist strap can still be attached.1/4-20 female thread for attachment to a tripod or for adding other attachments.The Camera Grip for other M series cameras can be found in my eBay store.
