The included 50mm f\/1.8 Cosinon lens is a gorgeous performer that renders skin tones with a soft, vintage warmth while keeping details beautifully crisp in the center. Because it uses the universal M42 mount, it serves as the perfect affordable gateway to exploring an infinite world of historic analog glass. It is a completely transparent, satisfying tool that makes manual photography incredibly rewarding.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCosina CSM\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm SLR Camera Body (S\/N: 8516106)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCosinon 50mm f\/1.8\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Prime Lens (S\/N: 803766)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eCosina\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eCSM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm Roll Film (Standard 135 Format)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eLens Mount: M42 Universal Screw Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/1.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eShutter System: Mechanical horizontal-travel focal-plane shutter (1s to 1\/1000s + Bulb)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,8,0\"\u003eMetering System: Through-The-Lens (TTL) CdS cells with 3-LED display array\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,9,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
