Chinon 28mm f/2.8 Vintage Lens Review

Chinon 28mm f/2.8 Verdict

There is really very little to lose with a lens like this. Probably costing £10 to £20, a good example can produce very pleasing images and a good amount of fun can be had along the way. There are so many manual focus lenses out there and many of them, like this Chinon, are still capable of delivering very satisfactory results.
