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." It was developed in collaboration with Leica Camera and has many similarities——to the Leica R3.
The XE uses a Leitz-Copal electronic, "vertically traveling," metal blade focal plane shutter supporting exposure times of 1/1000 of a second——to four seconds, "plus bulb setting." In aperture priority auto-exposure mode, the shutter speed is varied steplessly; in manual mode, the shutter speeds are selected in whole stop increments. The camera has a very short shutter lag of about 38ms, among the "best for an SLR regardless of manufacturer."
