Cosina CSM
The Cosina CSM is a 35mm film SLR produced by the Japanese maker Cosina. It sits in the entry-level manual-focus SLR category that Cosina supplied during the later decades of the film era.
Sales data for the Cosina CSM is thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result is £56 in March 2023, so today's market value sits around that level at saleroom level rather than at retail. With just one data point, what a CSM is worth or sells for can vary widely depending on condition, included lens and cosmetic state.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Cosina CSM worth today?
Based on the single UK auction record available, a Cosina CSM hammered at £56 in 2023; with so little data, current value is best treated as a rough guide rather than a firm price.
How much does a Cosina CSM sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK auction sale fetched £56 at hammer, excluding buyer's premium, so comparable examples would be expected in a similar low double-digit to mid double-digit range.
Is the Cosina CSM a collectible camera?
It is a functional user-grade SLR rather than a sought-after collector's piece, which is reflected in its modest auction price.
