Time to play with this lens, that I got quite long ago. It comes in PK mount, so nice for the K-7 and the *istDS.
And some quick samples:
This one focused on the eye at the left:
I have to test it further, but it seems not bad at all...
More tests coming.

Are you sure you have 50 and not 55 in M42? |

The 50 exists in M42 also, it is just not as common as the 55.
I have got its little brother, the 50/1.9. It performs much better than I had expected. |

To my experience, most standard primes are very good performers. This Chinon seems to be no exception! |

I got both of them. The 1.9 is suprisingly good!.

I may agree, but they also produced some average lenses. It's why the 135 I have seems to stay at home a lot.

There are at least 3 different versions of Chinon 135/f2.8 lenses.
Altough I don't know if Chinon ever produced their own lenses. It seems evything is being sold under Chinon name is made by other manufacturers like Tokina, Sun, Tomioka and others. |
