Hi Edgar.
Recently I bought the same chinon lens. Mine is N° 539620 with the "AUTO CHINON" in yellow. I think that it's the last version in Single coat.
It's a good lens for me. And your lens ????
Congratulations !!!
Rino

I bought that lens because Martin said so clearly that it's a good lens. 
And he is right.

Indeed it is a good lens. Mine has a different grip on the focus barrel. SN 535441. It's not in the best condition as it arrived with a dented hood & filter ring but it's a work horse and I have repaired it pretty well.
I did shoot with it this weekend so there some snaps here http://forum.mflenses.com/auto-chinon-200mm-f3-5-m42-t27078.html
Some older ones are around here http://forum.mflenses.com/chinon-3-5-200-t16604.html

Hi Woodrim
I was surprised I won it at all as I wasn't watching when the auction closed - obviously you weren't either!

To be a wide open pic, a bit low contrast but a good resolution power to my eyes. Sure from F/5,6 it can be better contrast.
About the dog pic, I can't say anything, i like all of them.
Perhaps your lens need another chance, take it.

It's so expensive to the US market. The price is for the periferic markets only.
Knowing that, I only ask about the IQ of the lens.

Minolfan> Great pics. I live that dog and the bokeh in each look very good.
I agree with Rino that the contrast may be a little low but not a problem with digi and it's really down to taste.

Ofcourse it is not difficult to give a bit more contrast. What was a surprise for me is the bokeh, better than I remembered. In an former comparison it did not clearly win against my old favorite, Vivitar serie 1 zoom 70 - 210mm. Heavier, but with a nice close up. Paid a lot of money for my first one in the early seventies in MD mount (still have and use it on film) and I felt lucky to find a second one in M42 for cheap. But I see now that the lens has right to get a better chance on digital. |

The lens arrived today. First impressions are good - it's in near mint condition so probably hasn't been used much. Also, it's heavier than I expected but then I like to know I'm holding a lens and not just a piece of plastic. Firstly, here is the lens:
Next, the first shot I've taken with it. Wide open at f3.5 and closest focusing distance of 2.70M
