What it is
{"overview":"The Kowa SE is a 35mm film SLR produced by the Japanese maker Kowa Optical. At this level the camera sells for pocket-change sums in the auction market, and condition of the shutter and meter has only a marginal effect on what it is worth.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leaf shutter for sticky or sluggish speeds, as service parts for Kowa SLRs are scarce.

Questions
Is the Kowa SE a collectible camera?
