The '''Cosina PM-1''' is an unusual model designation for a 35mm [[SLR]], as all of its close relatives are designated "CT-someing." This particular model shares its features with the classic [[Cosina CT-1 | CT-1]] however its [[pentaprism]] cover comes to a sharper point, giving the camera a nice traditional-looking profile. Examples are known primarily from the UK; and this may have been a private-label run for London-based distributor [[PhotoMarkets]], who evidently operated from 1963 through to their liquidation in the early 1980s.

The Cosina PM-1 is an unusual model designation for a 35mm SLR from Cosina, as all of its close relatives are designated "CT-something." This particular model shares its features with the classic CT-1 however its pentaprism cover comes to a sharper point, giving the camera a nice traditional-looking profile. Examples are known primarily from the UK; and this may have been a private-label run for London-based distributor PhotoMarkets, who evidently operated from 1963 through to their liquidation in the early 1980s.
