Known for its solid construction and reliable mechanics, it pairs well with the versatile Cosina 35–70mm Macro zoom lens. Covering focal lengths from wide-angle to short telephoto, the lens is suitable for travel, portraits, everyday photography, and close-up shooting through its macro functionality. Together, this combination offers a flexible and approachable setup for photographers looking to explore manual-focus film photography.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis camera uses standard \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e35mm (135) film\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, producing images in the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 × 36 mm format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSLR cameras and lenses sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter functionality, film transport reliability, optical clarity, and mechanical performance, with any cosmetic or functional notes clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENTAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45371707588691,"sku":null,"price":15500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0103\/0317\/6755\/files\/Image_4Large.jpg?v=1780656798","url":"https:\/\/shop.chennaiphotobiennale.com\/products\/asahi-pentax-km-cosina-35-70mm-f-3-5-4-8-macro-lens-slr-film-camera-fair","provider":"CPB Foundation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
