The Cosina CX-2 it's an improved version of the Cosina CX-1, which was also made in the same period. It has an automatic exposure system (CdS cell) which determines the aperture/shooter speed. Time scale goes from 1/500 to 30 seconds and aperture range from f2.8 to f16. It also has a flash mode, when you use it you have to choose the aperture, and the shutter speed is always 1/45.

The LOMO LC-A is actually a copy of this camera, the main differences are the self timer the Cosina CX-2 has and the lens, Cosina CX-2 has a better lens.

Cosina also manufactured and rebranded the CX-2 as the CM-135 Auto for Porst.
