    Overview

    The Chinon 35-80 mm f/3.5-4.9 MC Macro Auto is a manual zoom lens with good optical quality, but requires modification (cutting the guard fin) for use on Pentax DSLRs, while working fine on film cameras. Build includes a trapezoidal guard fin that may interfere. It suits users comfortable with manual lenses and willing to modify for digital bodies.
