Now I'm back from the post office. A 50mm lens arrived (no brand written on it) together with a HOYA Skylight filter (49mm) that I bought with ~6 GBP (shipping included). It was on a Luxon camera told me the seller. Well, after some search I found this paragraph: "Chinese Camera: Luxon 1000 Super (= Luxfoto (UK) Luxon 1000 Super (= Chinese Licenced and Chinese made) Pentax K 1000)" (from http://www.oldtimercameras.com/jessops/stock/Model.asp?Model=14328&ModelPage=true)
So may be its in fact a Pentax 50mm lens (but with different coating I think). I'll put it for a test, just to have some free time.
Its the f:2.0 version.
Here I found another camera, called MINGCA MCK1000 (http://kitatoma.pepo.jp/hobby_room/1_camera/MINGCA_MCK1000.htm) (by the way , the lens that arrived today are identical, just the f number is 2.0 and not f:1.7) which is in fact another chinese clone of the Pentax K1000 (http://kitatoma.pepo.jp/hobby_room/1_camera/Pentax_K1000.htm) .
I don't remember where (may be on an action on ebay) I say a Pentax K1000 which had engraved on the bottom plate "Made in China".
I'll post some shots made with it. Hope it will be soon. _________________ Canonet QL17 III

For the price I paid it looks pretty good to me and the build quality its Pentax like, at least for the lens (I read that the chinese Pentax k1000 clones were not such well build, like the actually chinses Pentax K1000 ).
I'll try in the weekend some outdoor shots. _________________ Canonet QL17 III

I think yes. If I'll find one as cheap as this one (0.99 GBP the lens and 5.20 GBP the shipping) I might try it. But in this case I already knew (or at least supposed) that the Luxon camera was a Pentax K1000 clone so I hoped the same for the lens. _________________ Canonet QL17 III
