Revision as of 20:16, 1 June 2009
There is some uncertainty regarding the launch date on these Minolta XE cameras:
One source says 1975 for all the models: XE, XE-1, XE-7 and XE-5
Another closer to Minolta says 1975 for XE-1 and 1976 for the XE-5
A third one on 35mm SLR's 1975 for the XE-7, XE-1 and XE-5
A Japanese source say 1974 for the Minolta XE
No one specifies for what region the dates apply.
I have chosen the source closest to Minolta, although this might concern Europe only.
