Chinon 55mm f/1.7 Auto
This little, well-built Chinon 55mm f/1.7 Auto lens is a fantastic lens stopped down a bit. It is a little soft wide open but makes a good low light lens with an adaptable M42 mount.

Chinon 55mm f/1.4 Auto
This Chinon 55mm f/1.4 Auto is fantastic mechanically and optically. There is not a whole lot of talk about this lens and probably for one reason. The rear element sticks out a fair bit and can hit the mirror on certain cameras if your using it on a DSLR with an adapter. However moving the focus away from infinity makes enough room to shoot or with the mirror up.
