Kowa SET-R The Kowa SET-R is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera released in the early 1970s by the Japanese company Kowa. Lens Mount: M42 screw mount Shutter: Mechanical focal plane shutter, 1/1000 s – 1 s + B Metering: CdS light meter with match-needle visible in the viewfinder Self-Timer: Present Viewfinder: Pentaprism with ground glass and microprism focusing aid Build Quality: Rugged metal body The Kowa SET-R was Kowa's attempt to enter the serious amateur photography market. Although better known for their binoculars and optics, Kowa also produced a range of high-quality cameras during the 1960s and 70s. The SET-R offered solid specifications and a clear viewfinder, but was ultimately overshadowed by competitors like Canon, Nikon, and Pentax. Despite their reliability, Kowa ceased camera production in the late 1970s and shifted their focus entirely to optical equipment for medical and industrial use. #KowaSETR #KowaCamera #VintageSLR #35mmSLR #M42Mount #ShootFilm #FilmPhotography #FilmIsNotDead #AnalogCamera #RetroPhotography #ClassicCameras #VintageCameraGear #CameraHistory #SLRcamera #OldSchoolCameras #FilmCommunity #ShootFilmStayBroke #MadeInJapan #MechanicalCamera #CdSMeter #ManualCamera #VintageLens #FilmCameraLove #PhotographyHeritage #AnalogVibes #FilmObsession #RetroVibes #CameraCollection #VintageOptics #KowaJapan
