Cosina CT-1A with Cosinon-S 50mm f/1.8 lens. This camera also comes with a camera strap and an original Cosina leather case!
The Cosina CT-1A is a manual-focus 35mm SLR from Cosina. It accepts K-mount-type lenses. It is nearly the same as the Cosina CT-1 but replaces that model's analogue meter needle with a match-LED exposure indicator ( + O - ) at the side of the viewfinder. This also necessitated the use of two LR44 or SR44 batteries, rather than the single mercury cell of the earlier model.
The CT-1A has a vertically travelling focal plane shutter with speeds from 1s to 1/1000 with B. Flash sync is at 1/125 a sec. The self-timer is mechanical with a delay of approx 10 sec. It features an open-aperture TTL metering in a center-weighted pattern, utilizing two CdS cells. The meter has a range of 3 to 18 EV at (ASA 100). Film speeds from 25 to 1600 ASA can be set on the ring surrounding the rewind crank.
Following the CT-1A Cosina offered two models: the CT1G is essentially the same as the CT-1A but without a self-timer (and at one time the two were included in the same owners manual); while the CT1 Super increases its top shutter speed to 1/2000 second. Both of the latter models also add an angular plastic handgrip.
