After Argus Camera found it impossible to compete in the market with its US-built cameras, the company decided to offer SLR cameras made for them by Japanese manufacturers; but confusingly, changed plans several times. Argus STL 1000 was the branding briefly used on two models, which bracket the more successful Argus/Cosina STL 1000.
The first was evidently a rebadging of the Cosina Hi-Lite; although in this version no Cosina branding appears. The second was a Petri FTX (aka Petri TTL) a camera introduced in 1974. Both use 42mm screwmount lenses; but otherwise look quite different from each other or the Argus/Cosina versions.
