CLE Light Seals

[mijosc]

I recently re-acquired a Minolta CLE. I had one several years ago and stupidly sold it. I replaced the light seals in the older one with a kit I found on eBay.

I need to do the same with the new one, but I'm unable to find a CLE light seal kit this time around. Does anyone know where I can find a kit? Alternatively, could I buy a kit for a different camera (maybe a Minolta X700) and cut it down to appropriate size?

Have you tried Jon Goodman?

The CLE is a wonderful camera.

I did email Jon, but I read somewhere else that he was no longer in business.

I heard back from Jon Goodman and he is sending me some CLE light seals.

Just an update, I got the light seals from Jon Goodman. They came with a nice set of instructions specifically for the CLE, and a small bamboo tool that made removing the old seals and installing the new ones easy. All for $8.00, including shipping.
