Chinon CM-3
Chinon CM-3 is a 35mm manual-focus film SLR with an optical pentaprism viewfinder and interchangeable lenses. It is a straightforward, mechanical-era camera aimed at photographers who want a simple, dependable film body rather than automation. Known as a practical used buy or sell item, the CM-3 suits learners, collectors and anyone building a vintage 35mm kit. Details can vary by market and lens fit, so body condition and mount compatibility are worth checking before trading.
