Randy

that is quite nice!
It looks VERY much like my Cosina C1 and has the same lens!

I'll add that model to our list.

Whoops...Randy....
I just checked the list...........and the Voigtlander VSL43 is already there!

Damn! Didn't know we were so efficient! ;D

I initially thought that the Cosina slr's looked a little 'plasticy' but after getting myself a Bessa L (yes, I know its not a slr, but basically a fm10 etc without a prism) I have definitely changed my mind! They dont have pre '70s metal heft, but do seem quite durable & heavier than I expected. Definitely not like picking up a cheap plastic p&s... This looks to be a great modern option for those with K mount lenses!

Does your list only contain SLR cameras?

Peter

[vintageslrs]

yes it does.

But if someone would like to take on the task of compliling a list of Cosina made Rangefinders.....please have at it.
It would be welcomed.

Good job Peter....

thanks for starting the Cosina-made Rangefinder list........

I seem to be the keeper of the Cosina made SLR list (a labor of love I assure you).

Can we count on you to be the keeper of the Cosina mase Rangefinder list? ;D

thanks
Bob
