The Kowa SET was a fixed lens 35mm SLR introduced by Kowa in 1967, and a replacement for the Kowa SE. It updated that camera by moving the external CdS light meter cell to an internal location, and thus provided coupled TTL metering with a viewfinder centre-the-needle manual setting system. According to a Dixons' advertisement (the UK importer and retailer) in a 1968 edition of "Amateur Photographer magazine", the Kowa SRT sold for £49 - 17s -6d. The SET was superseded in 1968 by the Kowa SET R; where "R" indicated that the lens was removable.
