The lens alone is commonly offered for apprx. 200 Euro nowadays (also the less interesting Zeiss Rollei QBM version). It's made in Singapore 1975 and therefore identical to the Rollei HFT version (same coatings).
I am already very curios as to how it will compare to my other lenses in that focal length. I will certainly give some feedback on that.

Maybe someone is trying to sell them for 200, but in reality they sell for 50-75eu on ebay all the time, 49 euros is a good price as it has a camera with it.
I paid 14ukp for one last week, just to complete the set as the Voigtlander badged one was the only Planar 1.8/50 variant I didn't already have. Mine was cheap because the focus was stiff. Fixed that with a quick re-greasing and it works like new.

A nice old Vorn preset came in; condition is quite good. This is a rather small lens, light in weight. I like the focal length and will live with the slow speed of this lens.
Click here to see on Ebay then click see original listing

f1.7-2.4/20-31.9mm 1.6x zoom
16 elements in 12 groups
Super Focus aspherical element
4 ED ultra-low dispersion elements
10-step iris, 6 blades
After removing from the projector, now to adapt it to camera use.

A nice score: the Chinon 300mm f5.6 from the 1970's, there is little arguement that this is derived from the adaptall CT300; and the matching Chinon 35mm f2.8, this was the lens I was particularly interested in, it's not common. Just about in NOS conditon with lovely leather cases.
Now the 35mm is an interesting one. The similar 28mm was discussed in this thread:
http://forum.mflenses.com/chinon-mc-28mm-f2-8-maybe-a-tomioka-lens-t74084.html
with the consensus I think tending towards a tamron attribution. I have actually amended the description in the review page on Pentax Forums to reflect that. However the 35mm is more awkward: tamron had discontinued the 35mm focal length when the adaptall series started. Add in the distinct structural differences with the tamron 35mm - a large 6 element lens see this thread... is it reasonable to suggest this might be something different?

I bought a similar 35mm F2.8 a few weeks back. It is branded "Expert" (a Scandinavian thing I guess) and has the Konica mount. I also went looking for the equivalent Tamron on the web (because I have an "Expert"-branded OM mount 85-210 Tamron with the same kind of aperture window and grip material), but couldn't find one.
Here's a another Expert 35mm from Scandinavia, an M42: http://blog.bkspicture.com/review_Expert_35mm_f2.8.html
That one has a 62xxxx serial, mine is 72xxxxx (one digit longer). |

Interesting. Certainly the same lens. Do you find the Chinon badged ones too? If not, I think we can asume some distributional/agency agreement that resulted in a rebadge. I have seen lenses of this series also with an Alpa nameplate, I wonder if that name pertained to a particular region/country - (update according to the PF review page Alpa is Swiss)?
If Luis reads this maybe he can compare these specs with his tamron made 35mm's.
front element: ~ 29mm
rear element: ~18mm, quite strongly convex
focus moves whole optical block.
Optical block ~ 41mm front to back.
The review by Bengt Sandberg (BKS) is complimentary (and he also reviews the 28mm, 135mm, 300mm from the same series)! My first few snaps are encouraging too.

ditto ...And the lens cap that came with the 300mm is the classic tamron "metal badge" lens cap but with chinon livery...
The 35mm didn't come with the original lens cap though.
I think we all agree that most of these chinons are tamrons: 300mm, 200mm, 135mm, 28mm, 24mm.

Congratulations! The K28/3.5 is a gem and you even got the original lens hood (hard to find, I've been looking for one of those for quite a while).
Especially for landscapes this is one of the best lenses out there, so you better put it to use!

Not sure about that - it is a splendid lens though. I started a thread on it some time back:
http://forum.mflenses.com/smc-pentax-k-28mm-f3-5-t75775.html
I also have some other images that show it off well.

Surely, they are both more than good enough and comparing them is a waste of time...

Yes it is better . It is actually better on FF sensor than many old 28mm. |

I could not resist to buy this one for 40 euros some weeks ago. On FF 24 Mpx it is a good lens actually. It makes "ein schoenes Paar" with the Sonnar 85mm 2.8
