A line of 35mm SLRs made in Japan by Cosina but using the Argus brand name, beginning about 1970. The argus/cosina STL 1000 (styled in lowercase on the nameplate) accepts M42 lenses. Small model variations include a black model, a version with a squarer pentaprism hump which includes a hot shoe, and a version where the self-timer lever lacks the black trim piece.
