GrumpyTim | Cosina CSL & CSM - All The Mod Cons For Your M42 Lenses @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 hours ago
The Cosina CSL, CSM & CSR were introduced in the late 70s as relatively affordable SLR cameras that offered technical advances such as electronic shutter timing, yet retained the M42 screw mount for your lenses. Cosina often made products for other brands, and these models were no exception, also being sold as the Porst Compact Reflex and the Vivitar XC-3. The camera even offered aperture priority auto exposure, albeit that you needed a little extra gadget to achieve this - the Cosina AEC Adapter, which sat on the hot shoe and physically moved the shutter speed dial when you half pressed the shutter button.
Here are some of my other videos about less talked about cameras:
