The Chinon CM-3 is a fully mechanical SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, just using batteries for the light meter. A solid, well built camera, the last from Chinon to use the M42 lens mount (which gives access to a wide variety of lenses). Although not having the status of Canon, Olympus, Nikon, etc, the Chinon brand was considered as decent quality, good enough that Chinon was bought by Kodak in 2004.
