For sale a rare Cosina CX-1 Camera. The CX-1 is the inspiration for the Lomo LC-A. Read more at http://lomography.com/about/timeline

1982: General Igor Petrowitsch Kornitzky, right-hand man to the USSR Minister of Defense and Industry, slammed a little Japanese compact camera onto the desk of his comrade Michail Panfilowitsch Panfiloff, the Director of the powerful LOMO Russian Arms and Optical factory. Panfiloff carefully examined the item, observing its sharp glass lens, extremely high light sensitivity and robust casing. Realizing its potential, the two gentlemen gave orders to the LOMO PLC factory in St. Petersburg, Russia to create an improved version of the Cosina CX-1 – and the first working sample of the LOMO LC-A was born!

The camera is much rarer compared to the Lomo LC-A. Camera doesn't look perfect (with some light paint losses) but works perfectly. The aperture lever is stuck at auto (which is just about right). Hence, you can't select the aperture with a fixed 1/60 shutter speed. Anyhow, nobody uses the aperture lever anyway. It'll work just like the LC-A+ which shed the aperture lever as deemed redundant.

CX-1 has a Cosinon lens which is 33mm and f3.5. The iso settings are 25,64,100,200,400, just nice for people who shoot 64iso films. Meter is accurate and lens is clean with no fungus (I cleaned it previously).
