Auto Chinon 50mm f/1.9 Pentax K Mount Lens

The Auto Chinon 50mm f/1.9 for Pentax K Mount is a classic manual-focus standard lens from the heyday of Japanese 35mm SLR photography. It’s compact, fast, and refreshingly straightforward, making it a great inexpensive normal lens for a Pentax K-mount film kit or for adapting to a modern mirrorless camera.

The 50mm focal length is about as versatile as it gets on 35mm film. It works beautifully for everyday photography, portraits, street shooting, travel, and available-light work. The relatively fast f/1.9 maximum aperture also gives you plenty of room to play with shallow depth of field without turning the lens into something huge and heavy.

Chinon glass tends to fly a little under the radar compared with the equivalent Pentax lenses, which is part of the appeal. You get a nicely made vintage prime with classic manual-focus handling and plenty of old-school character without paying the collector premium attached to some better-known names.

Condition: EXCELLENT

This lens is in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic wear. The optics are clean and clear, and the focus and aperture mechanisms operate smoothly and correctly.

A clean, ready-to-shoot example.
