I own but 22 cameras - and by no means are they all collector grade, but it's these finds that put the capital C in collection...
I just 'won' a Minolta XEb on Ebay for $41. This particular up-variant of the XE-5 rarely comes available. XEb was a Japan market only camera that had everything the XE-5 had + a multi-exposure lever (that I refer to as the "ME Clutch" - as it lets you cock the shutter w/out advancing the film) - a feature found on the top-line XE-7 / XE / XE-1 camera. One web site attests to short production run.
I'll post a photo of it once it gets here.
Regards,
Mark
