The LED Promaster is a 35mm SLR from Chinon which aside from its name appears identical to the CM-1 and whose features match the CM-3. This was a marketing arrangement with distributor Promaster, and the Chinon Power Winder variant available with this model also has that rebranding added. In any event this camera accepts 42mm screw lenses and "LED" refers to the three indicator lamps just to the right of the eyepiece lens. These form the readout for the camera's stopdown exposure metering which is activated by a half-press on the shutter release.
