    Hi all,
    I've got two old auto Chinon Lenses for a 35 mm camera, but no longer got the camera. Is there a market for these at all or should I just bin them? Advice please.

    Hard to tell without more details but they're most likely not worth very much. Stick them up on adverts and EBay with every scrap of detail you can find listed on the lens and clear pictures and see what you get for them. What mount are they ?

    i suspect they'd be worth maybe 20 quid without further info, but some chinon lenses might be worth a few times that.

    what does it say on the front of the lens? e.g. 28mm f2.8, or similar?
    are they zoom lenses?

    I know nothing about them, but the markings read:

    1) Chinon Multi coated 1:2.8 Lens
    Multi coated 611080 52ф
    f = 28 mm
    Lens caps labelled for Pentax

    and,

    2) Auto Chinon 1:2.8 Lens
    515714
    f = 135 mm.

    Cheers!

    Have you put these up on Adverts.ie, etc. yet?

    How much do you want for the 135mm f/2.8? ...assuming it fits my old Revueflex AC2 R, which I think is a rebranded Chinon CE4 (Pentax K mount)
