The '''Revueflex 1001''' is a basic [[stop down | stopdown-metering]] 35mm [[SLR]] rebranded and distributed by [[Foto-Quelle]] in Germany. The camera was manufactured in Japan by [[Chinon]] and was introduced in 1976.  The Revueflex 1001 accepts all [[M42]] lenses but was sold with a budget Auto Revuetar 1:2.8 f=50mm.

There does not seem to be an exact Chinon model which corresponds to this Revueflex 1001, but the main characteristics are very similar to the [[Chinon CX II | CX II]].  The [[Revueflex 3003 | Revueflex 2002 & 3003]] are very like the 1001 but add a battery check and a lever permitting [[multiple exposure]]s. There is an extended family of Chinon-built models with similar styling intended for private-label sale—e.g. the [[Argus CR-1]] (the 1001's near-exact twin), or the autoexposure [[Revueflex 5005]]. 

The CdS lightmeter is of the TTL type and is powered by a <!--V625U 1.5V (?) surely it's PX625 1.35v mercury --> battery located in the bottom plate. The result of the metering is shown on the right side in the viewfinder by a needle which should be positioned between the plus and minus signs for correct exposure. Film speeds can be set from ASA 10 - 1600 (DIN 11 - 33) and shutter speeds range from 1s to 1/1000s plus B.

Besides the hotshoe the camera is also fitted with two flash cable connections for both X and M flash synchonisation.
The mechanical self timer is located at the front of the body and the shutter release button can be locked by turning its base to a position marked L at the top plate of the camera body.
