Chinon CA-4 + 1.9/50 mm, a 35 mm SLR camera, tested and working, in very good condition, dating from 1980–1990.
Description from the seller
Due to the end of my collection: a Chinon CA-4 automatic 35mm SLR camera with a 50mm lens equipped with a filter. There is not much information available online about the release date of the Chinon CA-4, but it is believed to have been released in 1980. The camera is designed for amateur photographers and features a diaphragm priority mode, making it accessible to beginners in photography. Unusually, the camera is powered by three SR44 batteries. There is a battery check, but if the batteries are dead, the shutter still operates with a shutter speed of 1/1000 second.
Shutter: Seiko MFC electromagnetic metal slit shutter.
Shutter speeds: 1 – 1/1000, with indicators for over- and underexposure.
Lens: AUTO Chinon 50 mm f 1:1.9. The lens has small dust particles but is otherwise free of haze, fungus, and separation. The offered camera is in very good, fully functional condition and shows minimal signs of use. It is sold without batteries. Photos are part of the description.
