Zenit-E
Photographed with a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera.
Eric Tastad reviewed the Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens - erphotoreview.com/wordpress/?p=1264
He concluded “This lens really surprised me. I was expecting junk and it ended up being the biggest surprise of the lenses I tested. In terms of sharpness, the only place this lens is lacking is wide open at the corners, otherwise it is comparable to the best of the best. This would be excellent for video or wide open photography. So many of the old 50mm f/1.4 lenses are terrible wide open, but this lens is an exception”.
Tomioka made the lens for Chinon. There were also Rikonen, Yashinon, and Revuenon versions, all to the same specification.
As for the Zenit-E: it was launched in 1967 and based on the Zorki rangefinder camera. The Zorki rangefinder was a copy of the Leica II. So I own a Leica (sort of). Pity the shutter is not dependable. Age has caught up with it.
