Prices from outside the UK include about 20% import VAT. Over £135 the courier may add a handling fee, and customs duty can apply. Work out the full cost with the import cost calculator.
A * after the working status means it comes from the seller's description, not the title.
Before you buy a used CLE
- Electronic shutter: test auto on fresh batteries.
- Check the rangefinder alignment.
- Check the rangefinder patch is bright and lines up at infinity and vertically.
- Check the shutter at every speed and the light seals around the back.
- Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers a camera that doesn't work as described, but only if you pay through eBay. Our used film camera checklist has the tests to do the day it arrives.
Battery: 2x LR44 / SR44. The camera won't work without it. Battery finder →
Questions buyers ask
How much is a used CLE worth?
On eBay UK today a tested / working, body only Minolta CLE typically costs £961 delivered, with most between £911 and £1,484. These are asking prices, so many sell for a little less, especially with Best Offer.
Is it cheaper to buy a CLE from Japan?
46 of the 52 Minolta CLE listings on eBay UK right now are posted from Japan. The cheapest tested one from Japan is £483 including about 20% import VAT, against £821 for the cheapest tested one from a UK seller. Japanese dealers grade cosmetic condition carefully ("Near Mint", "Exc+5"), but you pay import VAT and sometimes a courier fee, and returns take longer. All the prices on this page already include the VAT estimate.
What battery does the CLE take?
2x LR44 / SR44.
Is a tested CLE worth paying more for?
Right now tested examples are listed at about £237 (20%) less than ones where the seller doesn't say. A film-tested camera is the safest buy: an untested one can need a service costing £60 to £150.
What should I check before buying a used CLE?
Electronic shutter: test auto on fresh batteries. Check the rangefinder alignment.
Are these sold prices?
No, they're asking prices from live eBay listings, refreshed daily. We record the daily typical price, so the history chart shows how asking prices move.
