365 Camera Project - Camera 190 Cosina CT 1

My project for 2023 is to use 365 film cameras within a year.

Just got hold of a Cosina CT-1A. My first mechanical camera, the feel of the charge action and shutter actuation is the nicest of all my cameras, and I have a lot of technologically "superior" cameras!

I find the Cosina line of cameras very solid performers. Enjoy😁

Even though the exterior is plastic, it has a fairly industructble cobalt shutter. Unit was sold and rebranded under Vivitar, Ricoh and the like. They made them for a really long time. The plastic bits are what fail on these... Early ones had 1.35v mercury batteries (hard to find substitutes). Not sure how common the 1.5v version is. Cheers.
