Chinon 35-80mm f3.5-4.9 macro multi coated

[kryss]

Going through my obscene amount of lenses sorting which to sell or keep I found this lens, can't seem to find anything on this particular lens sn.437060 found one but not with this f stop.It is in as new condition and PK mount looks as if never mounted.Would much appreciate any info.

If it is a lens for 10$ as stated in the first link, it's not bad at all for a zoom lens like this.
However, I don't really like zooms.

Thanks Thomas,the one I tracked down had f stop@80mm 6.9.I think I must have got mine with a Pentax Super Program camera which also looks as if it never had film thru it.I have a number of 35-70's and 80's different close focus/macro different mfg. and they all seem to give acceptable results if used properly.My favourite is Tamron 01A.
