Cosina CX5 with wrist strap!
The Cosina CX5 is a compact 35mm film viewfinder camera released in 1982, known for its ease of use, zone focusing, and integrated pop-up flash. It was designed for amateur photographers looking for a straightforward, portable camera for snapshots.
Specifications:
- Lens: The camera is equipped with a fixed Cosinon 33mm f/3.8 lens (3 elements in 3 groups).

- Exposure: The CX5 features a programmed automatic exposure (AE) system using a CdS meter.
- Shutter: It has a programmed electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/30s to 1/500s. A red LED in the viewfinder warns of slow shutter speeds (below 1/30s) to prevent camera shake.
