Chinon CP-X SLR & Cosinon 35-105mm f/3.5 Lens
All cameras are film tested, and any issues found are described below. Any photos you see in the listing are taken with this particular camera.
Lens: Cosinon 35-105mm f/3.5 K-Mount Lens
Film speed settings: 25-3200 ISO
Film Format: 35mm
Lens Mount: Pentax K Mount
Shutter: B/1 to 1/1000 sec
Aperture: f/3.5 - 22
Focusing: Manual
Light Meter: Battery Powered
Battery: LR44 X 4
Flash: Hot Shoe
Year: 1985 - Onwards
Country: Japan
The good:
· For a 40-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.
· Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.
· Focus ring is smooth and accurate.
· Film transport arm is smooth and solid.
· Aperture blades move freely.
· Flash hot shoe works as expected.
· Light meter reacts to light well and tends to expose well for the shadows.
The less good:
· The viewfinder has some a couple of dust spots. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.
· The lens itself has a few specs of dust, and marks, but nothing that is noticeable in the final images (see attached sample photos)
· I’m not entirely sure that this camera’s off switch works as it should, as I’ve found batteries left in it will become exhausted faster than they should be.
· General wear and tear.
