Budget-friendly 35mm SLR from the early 1980s with versatile zoom lens.

Key specs:

Cosina 35-70mm zoom lens
Manual focus and exposure
K-mount compatible
Compact lightweight body

Condition: Rubber grip is faded (common with cameras of this age - cosmetic only, doesn't affect function).

The C1 is Cosina's entry-level manual SLR - simple, affordable, and straightforward to use. K-mount compatibility means you can swap lenses and use Pentax glass. The 35-70mm zoom gives you a useful everyday focal range.

Basic but functional mechanical photography from the era of budget Japanese SLRs. Good option for learning manual exposure without spending big, or as a backup body.

Lens system: Pentax K mount

Skill Level: Intermediate

Comfortable with basic settings
Understanding aperture/shutter relationship
Aperture-priority cameras, basic manual SLRs with meters

Warranty: 2 Months from purchase

All second-hand film cameras sold at Camera House NZ come with a 2 month warranty when they've been film tested by us.

Our 2 month warranty covers mechanical and electronic failures that occur during normal use. If something goes wrong with your camera during this period, bring it back and we'll sort it out.

This warranty reflects our confidence in the cameras we sell and our commitment to getting you out shooting with reliable equipment. We've been in the photography business since 1953, and we stand behind the gear we sell.

Guarantee: Film Tested

We put a roll of film through each camera to verify that the shutter, film advance, and light meter (where fitted) are working correctly. This real-world testing ensures you're getting a camera that's ready to shoot, not just one that looks good on the shelf.
