Vintage Kowa H 35mm SLR Film Camera with Original Case – Spares or Repair
An unusual Japanese Kowa H 35mm SLR dating from approximately 1963–1967.
The camera is in good cosmetic condition and comes with its original carrying case.
Please note that this camera is faulty and is being sold for spares or repair.
The shutter does not currently fire and the film winding arm/lever is missing.
The built-in selenium light meter is responsive to changing light levels, but due to the other faults the camera has not been fully functionally tested.
