    Overview

    The Chinon 35-100mm f/3.5 is a solid, all-metal zoom lens with smooth operation and good close-focus capability. Optically, it is sharp for an old zoom, with warm color rendition and pleasant bokeh, though a sample had a front element scratch from an internal clearance issue. It is heavy but well-built, suiting users who appreciate vintage character and don't mind manual focus.
