I was just looking in the Cosina Files and I didn't see this Cosina listed. Bought new in the mid to late 1980s for my daughter.



Turning the turret exposes the lens and turns the camera on.

Hi Dave!
I've never seen one of those, but it looks like a camera I'd have in my collection
How was the photo quality?

Doug, I'll leave it to you in my will! Fair quality, but I'm not sure I have any photos I can show you that were definitely from this camera. There are some on flickr www.flickr.com/photos/masaruhayashi/sets/72157627353363240/with/6008081044/ - not taken by me though, unless I have had a name change!
