History and technical features 

Revue SC5 auto aka Cosina C2 sold by the German mail-order house Foto Quelle. Entry level SLR for 35 mm film with Pentax K-mount from 1993. Manual film advance and focussing was a bit old fashioned at that time.

The C2 is a manual-focus 35mm SLR made by Cosina and using the popular K-mount bayonet for lens interchangeability. The camera offers a choice between manual match-LED exposure settings and aperture-priority autoexposure. In auto mode, the electronically-timed shutter offer speeds from 1/1000 sec down to 8 seconds. Flash sync is at 1/60th sec. Pressing the transparent red button on the front of the camera activates a electronic self-timer delay of 10 seconds, with an indicator lamp whose flashing speed becomes more rapid in the final 2 seconds.

The Cosina C3 is essentially the same camera, but with shutter speeds from 1/2 to 1/2000 sec. The Cosina C1s is a close sibling, lacking the electronic shutter and auto-exposure of the C2, but with a 1 to 1/2000 sec. shutter range and flash sync at 1/125.

The features of the Cosina C2 resemble those of the Cosina-manufactured Canon T60 and (with modifications) the Nikon FE10. The C2 has also been sold under other names, such as the Revue SC 5 auto and Carena 1000 SX. The C3 has appeared rebranded as the Voigtländer VSL 43, the Phoenix P2, and likely several other names.

Características

Foto-Quelle of Nuremberg, Germany, was a large retailer of camera and photographic equipment. It sold a variety of film cameras and other optical instruments (such as binoculars) produced by other manufacturers under the Revue and Revueflex brands. Those manufacturers included most notably the japanese companies Chinon and Cosina, as well as the Russian state-owned KMZ factory, most prominently several cameras of their Zenit line. In the 60s Foto-Quelle also distributed Petri and Konica cameras under the Revue brand, which are much rarer today.
Foto-Quelle was originally founded in 1957 as a subsidiary of the large retailer and mail-order house Quelle, Foto-Quelle became Europe's largest photographic retailer by 1966 and in 1970, the world's largest. Usually twice a year a popular, rich illustrated catalog was published, not only in Germany, but also in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, USA and Switzerland.
In 1999 Quelle merged with the Karstadt Warenhaus AG (a department store chain) into the KarstadtQuelle AG. In 2009 the holding of that group, 2007 renamed as Arcandor, has fallen into bankruptcy. The business unit Foto Quelle and the brand Revue were acquired by the ORWO Net GmbH. ORWO Net itself is a part of the former Filmfabrik Wolfen (Orwo). Today Foto Quelle is a service provider for photoprints, photo books, calendars, etc.

The CM-4 is a quite simple fully manual SLR from Chinon. It's shutter speeds go up to 1/1000.
All the user has are 3 LED's. A green one for correct exposure, and two red ones which indicate over or under exposure. These LED's are placed outside the viewfinder, but it is possible to see them while focusing. Choosing either a different aperture or shutter speed will have an instant effect on the LED's.
It takes 2 LR44 batteries and will function with all Pentax K-mount lenses. Shown here with the Chinon 50mm f/1.9 standard lens, which gets quite good reviews!
The Chinon CM-4s is the CM-4 with additional self-timer. The Chinon CS-4 is identical to the CM-4 but with M42 screw mount instead of Pentax K-mount. Foto-Quelle sold the CM-4 as Revueflex SC 2, the CM-4s as Revue SC 3.
