Have tested a Auto Chinon 50mm f/1.9 which has Pentax K (PK) mount.

Below are some of the test shots taken with this lens.
The B&W pictures are analog and are taken with a Chinon CG-5, AGFA CINEREX (X-ray film) and developed in X-tol.
Color shots are digital and are taken with a Canon 500D with lens mount adapter.

My review has more and hires images and can be found here if you're interested: http://blog.bkspicture.com/review_Auto_Chinon_50mm_f1.9_PK.html

I somehow ended up with 2 of those lenses, and I really like them. They are slightly soft which makes them excellent for portraits and interiors. Great for gatherings too.

I just took this a little while ago with my NEX-5N and Auto-Chinon 50mm, f1.9. Great budget lens.

It is a very nice and has a great value for the money.
Thanks for the comments and keep snapping!

Indeed a good performer and good built lens. Manufacturer still unknown. Attributed to Tomioka/CHINON heritage or COSINA.
Since i have many COSINA lenses of that period i am inclined to believe Cosina isn't. Bellow photos with 5DmkII.

Now I remember how I acquired 2 of the Auto Chinon 50/1.9 lenses. One came with a Chinon DSL and the other was on a Pentax ME Super. The rough looking one on the DSL is the same lens that I used to take above photo of the box of Pentax SLRs.

M42 and PK versions both very good lenses though the same manufacturer uncertain.
