Subject: [Leica] Minolta question

Hiya,

Cruising through town this afternoon i came across an old Minolta, what
looked like-- compact/snap shot type camera sitting in a shop window. I
can't remember what it was called, but it reminded me of some of the
pictures i've seen of the CL. It don't know if it has a fixed lens or not
(it looked like it), but the lens was a 38/2.7 Minolta/Nikkor lens and had
an iso scale setting on the lens itself. I also noticed it had a switch for
flash operation on the right, front hand side, and what looked like a
hotshoe on top. It was really cheap, and i wondered if anyone knew anything
about it? Is the glass worth the, about $20, they had on it.

Cheers,
Gary
