Photographed using a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens on a Fuji camera via an adapter. This lens was an alternative to the more usual 55mm f/1.8 when Dixons were selling Chinon cameras during the early 1970s. They aren't that plentiful on the second-hand market so I guess not many customers paid the extra. After all, this was the budget-conscious end of the market. There is nothing wrong with the f/1.8 version, but the f/1.4 was definitely worth the extra.

The Limbo Connection club has replied to tiabunna clubStriving with these vintage lenses is a bit hit-and-miss. Some are better than others: 50mm and 55mm is generally decent, also 135mm, but the 28mm specimens are a minefield.
Vintage glass is seldom pristine. Dirt, dust, mildew, scratches, seized-up mechanics, general out-of-adjustment faults - I wonder why we bother! I once bought an Optomax 35mm lens with a long eyelash trapped inside. It still made half-way decent pictures, but I didn't really like such close association with a previous owner.
