Hi Dave, this camera will have the Pentax K bayonet mount. The M42 Chinons stopped at series 3. Don't know anything about these lenses, sorry. I'd guess they're not fantastic.

I'd guess the 75-150 3.9 is from the late 1970's-early 1980's. It was sold under a range of the cheaper brands, and probably isn't by the remaining big players in the third party/OEM lens business of the time. Its not a Sigma, Tokina, Kiron under another name. Its not a Sun likewise.
Cosina ? Possibly. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Hi there every body!
This is my first post in this forum. Glad to be here!
I have a Chinon CM-5 manual focus camera and a 1:1.9 50mm chinon lens. They are both Pentax mount. From what I've read, aside from the M42 mount, the Chinons are all pentax mount. See <ChinonIndustries, Wikipedia. |

Agreed I picked up a CE-5 and winder cheap a few weeks ago and I am very impressed with it, I like the way the aperture setting is visible in the viewfinder via a little mirror, and the 1.7/50 lens seems reasonable too |

Indeed, which is why I like the CE-3 as it's the last M42 mount, aperture priority and big viewfinder. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

That's true about the mounts until Chinon developed their on version of the k-mount for the AF bodies in the late 80s such as the CP-9AF. There was still some lens compatibility. For example Pentax AF lenses will work on the CP-9AF, but require manual focusing. _________________ Pentax: K, H2, H3, S3, SV (late & early), SV black, Spot F, K2 chrome, K2 black, ME F, SuperProgram, 6x7, Auto 110, Asahiflex IIB late

I've got a CM-5 also. My only complaint about it is it has a hair trigger between reading the meter light and the shutter firing. I blow several shots every roll. Snappy camera. Just a little toooo snappy for me. |

Yes, I tend to stay in the auto mode for this reason. I wish there was another switch for the meter. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

The old Prakticas (up to the Nova 1B) had that system too. I used to like it very much, because it always gave a DOF preview before firing. I believe the reason it was changed was because people were releasing the button too early and opening the aperture before the shutter had closed, but this can't happen on the CM-3 because the shutter and the aperture stopdown are interlinked. Like the Prakticas, the aperture closes before the shutter fires but it doesn't open again until the shutter has closed, whether on manual or auto, even if you release the button early. And on auto the camera automatically gives the meter time to register the light and calculate the shutter speed before releasing the shutter, even if you snatch at the button.
The only problems I've come across is camera shake, because of the long travel of the button. You need to train yourself to squeeze it gently, like firing a rifle. _________________ Peter - Moderator |
