Does anyone still have the URL?
I think I missed the original post of this thread and have been
deleting it due to the absurd political posturing since.

Meanwhile, I am still a bit amazed that anyone could make out so

what the camera in the picture is. I thought there wasn't enough
detail
there to tell. Guess to those who know that model well, there
really is.
Is there a particular clue in the picture, that wouldn't mean
anything
unless one knew rangefinders extremely well?
It's definitely a Minolta CLE. The body style is almost exactly the
same as a Leica CL (one of which I own), except it's a teeny bit
bigger. The size difference is not discernable in the photo, but one
can clearly see that HCB's cam has the shutter speed dial on the top
of the body. The Leica model has the shutter speed dial on the front.
So, it's definitely a Minolta CLE.
