The CT1 Super is a manual-focus, manual-exposure SLR from Cosina utilizing the popular K-mount bayonet for its lenses. This model is an evolution of the earlier CT-1 and CT-1A with an increase of its top shutter speed to 1/2000 second. The camera has a mechanical, vertically-traveling metal shutter which does not depend on batteries; however two SR44 or LR44 cells provide power for the match-LED meter circuit.

With the CT1 Super, Cosina established the basic template for a manual-focus SLR, which the company soon produced prolifically under the branding of many other companies. The Nikon FM10, Chinon CM-7, Ricoh KR-5 Super II, numerous Vivitar SLRs, and countless others ultimately descend from the basic kit of parts Cosina assembled in this model.
