Cosina CS-2
The Cosina CS-2 is a 35mm film SLR produced by the Japanese maker Cosina. It sits in the budget end of the manual-focus SLR market that Cosina supplied during the later film era.
Sales data for the CS-2 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from January 2023 sold for £19, which sets the only datapoint available for what this body is worth today. With one wholesale saleroom price on record, anything offered for sale in 2026 should be read against that £19 reference rather than retail listings, and condition will move the price significantly in either direction.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
