Well I have a little love affair with the 1st Manual lens i ever bought and that was the Auto Chinon (Tomioka) 55m F1.7 I fell in love with the oil like paintings i could make with the lens and it put me on the very slippery slope of LBA plus i liked the leather focus grip, etc.
So I have tried to gather a few more and when i spotted a 35mm F2.8 I knew it had to be mine so i upped the bids and won the lens is the same as this


Very smooth focus just like its bigger counterpart.
Similar construction and finish but the lens operates the other way from the 55mm
I suspect it was also made by Tomioka
Samples beloow mostly shot at F5.6 / 8 and some at F2.8

Looks like a nice lens to me. There are loads of these silver band lenses on ebay all the time, whether they are Tomiokas or not I have no idea.

Very impressive. That looks like a keeper.

Samples look excellent. But this lens is completely different from 55mm. This one is made by Sun.
