Argus Cosina STL 1000 camera w/ Fujinon 55mm f1.8 lens (serial 0402721)

This is a nice, tank-like 35m film SLR that uses the very common M42 lens mount (used in Pentax Spotmatic SLRs and many other types). It's in great working condition. All shutter speeds are working with good accuracy. It includes a Fujinon 55mm f1.8 lens lens that is in very good condition. 

This camera requires a 675 zinc air battery for its light meter (available as an option).

Condition notes

The camera is in overall good condition for its age (see photos) with the most noteworthy cosmetic blemish being a small dent on the top cover. The shutter speeds have good accuracy across the entire range. We calibrated the meter and we were able to attain an accuracy of approximately +/- 1 stop  from EV 10 to EV 15.
