with a small lens

PORST compact reflex OC 1,2. Cost 899DM in 1977
The camera was made by Cosina and it's very unlikely
that the lens would have been made by anyone else
as late as 1977 although we can't be certain that
it is the same lens.
This site belongs to a major Porst collector.

Porst were at one time the biggest camera retailer in the world,
similar to Dixons/Jessops.

Almost certainly a re-badged Cosina in a K mount, which means you don't
need the M42 converter. If it's the same as mine the f stops are full
stops (no half stops) and there isn't a stop between f/1.2 and f/2
although I have heard of people cutting an extra notch.
Bargain at the price

Thanks guys. I have a QP Card for the colour but how would that help with exposure? I also have a Tiffen card somewhere as well.
such as the Expodisc but it would mean pointing the camera
towards the light source.
A handheld incident light meter reading would also work.
If it's that important why not exposure bracket at least
3 shots.

Or use a QPCard 201
QPCard 201 (the one I have) is Jpg only, but does set the colours correctly.
The newer card also handles RAW.

for arty farty designers who consider an iphone to be a perfect
camera there's no sense at all showing a massive lens and even
bigger hood other than lose sales.
Even the ME makes the K-01 look too thick
