It came with a Cosina built Kobanar 50/1.8. The serial number of the unit shown suggests it was made in 1974. The Kobana shares some unique styling with the Cosina Hi-Lite EC, such as the self-timer, the arrangement of the control on the top housing, the bottom release lever, unique match needle marks in the viewfinder, and the 'film type reminder ring' around the rewind knob.
It was sold in Japan and by at least Australian importer.
