I usually use lenses above 50mm, but i found this Revuenon for 12 euros, shipping included, so i thought, why not ... It came with a leather case and his lens hood. I was expecting a small lens, but it's not. It's bigger than any 50 that i have.
From a web sized images you can't see much, but prints came out very nicely. It's probably not a match for the more expensive lenses, but i'm quite happy with it. Maybe somebody knows something about its origins?
Taken with a Canon 450D. |

Very nice results, I have the same lens branded Chinon part of my Chinon Leather clad collection
I have the 35mm f2.8, 50mm f1.7 and the 135mm f2.8 I only need the 28mm and the 50mm F1.4 to complete my set.
The 50 1.4 is going for silly prices as the legend has it its tomioka personally not worth more than £40 as there is many 1.4 much better than it for less

Chinon was the first thing that came to my mind. Some say this Revuenon is same as the Auto Chinon 35mm, made by Sun. Any experience with it? |

Most chances it is Sun made lens. Images look very interesting. Do you have some images of less distant objects? Some close ups? |

Revuenon is indeed a company that "rebrands" other lenses. My 35mm f/2.8 looks completely different :
