Chinon Multi Coated 50mm f/1.7 – K-Mount Prime Lens

The Chinon Multi Coated 50mm f/1.7 is a bright and reliable standard lens designed for the Pentax K-mount system.
Thanks to its multi-coated optics, it offers strong contrast, vivid color reproduction, and reduced flare – a clear improvement over earlier single-coated models.
With its fast f/1.7 aperture, this lens performs beautifully in low-light conditions and delivers a smooth, natural background blur (bokeh) with excellent center sharpness.

Originally produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, this lens remains popular among analog photographers and digital users alike. When adapted to modern mirrorless or DSLR cameras, it provides that distinctive vintage rendering with warm tones and gentle transitions that characterize classic optics.

This particular copy is in good used condition – focus ring turns smoothly, aperture blades are clean and snappy, and glass elements are clear without haze or fungus.
