€159,00 €229,00

All cameras come with a 6-month warranty.

This kit includes:

  • Chinon CS SLR camera body
  • Ifoto 28mm f2.8 lens

Description:

The Chinon CS is a fully mechanical camera. This means it does not require batteries to operate the shutter

It uses M42-mount lenses, which will give you access to many high quality lenses.

This is a very good no nonsense camera. It is lightweight, fully mechanical, doesn’t require any batteries to operate the shutter and has access to a massive amount of lenses thanks to its K-mount. What's not to like?

 

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or a light-meter app on your phone. Alternatively you can use the foolproof sunny-16 rule.

Specifications:

  • First release year: 1978
  • Lens Mount: M42-mount
  • Power: N/A
  • Modes: Manual
