Product code: Kowaflex E 35mm Film SLR Camera and Case with Strap / 1961 discount / Vintage

The Kowa E (which appears to have been branded as the Kowaflex E in the USA) was the base model for subsequent Kowa 35mm SLR cameras. It's a fully manual camera, with an external selenium meter located on the pentaprism housing, and a match-needle pointer in the viewfinder, along with a central split image rangefinder. This particular camera's meter is not functioning, however everything else mechanical functions flawlessly. All knobs turn as they should and the shutter fires just wonderfully! The camera has been cleaned from top to bottom, inside and out. Lens has been polished. This has not been tested with film.

The camera has a fixed 50mm lens at an aperture of f/2 (1:2). The lens is a Kowa Optical Works Prominar lens. The bottom front right corner features an emblem that discount is yellow and red signifying this is a "Model E", which came after the original Kowa from 1954, and features improvements from the previous model version.

This listing includes the camera and lens, the original black leather carrying case and strap.
