AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Due to the termination of my collection: a well-maintained Chinon CS SLR camera with a 55 mm lens. The Chinon CS, also known as the GAF L-CS, is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera made in Japan (1978) by Chinon. The model designation CS stands for Chinon Screw, referring to the universal M42 Praktica/Pentax screw thread. The shutter is of the metal Copal Square type, mechanically timed, similar to cameras like the Nikkormat FT. This provides a high synchronization speed of 1/125 second and is less sensitive and less prone to distortion of fast-moving subjects than a slower rubber shutter with a significantly longer duration at the same shutter speeds. Shutter speeds: B, 1 - 1/1000. All shutter speeds are functional. Lens: Auto Chinon 55 mm f/1.7. The lens is free of haze, fungus, and separation.
The camera offered is in good and nearly fully functional condition. ***NOTE***: the light meter is not operational. It is sold without batteries. Photos are part of the description.
