Update on the Canon. A few kind handy viewers offered to get it back up and running for me. It's packed and ready to go. Thank you to those that offered. Very kind. Update on the Chinon.... No light leaks! Yay! ✌️😁

Just got gifted another camera, this one is a Canon AT-1 with a 50mm 1.8 in perfect condition. it also came with an aftermarket 70-210 zoom vivitar series 1 lens. a very nice camera with needle and peep sight arrangement for setting exposure. Can wait to try it out this weekend.

I bought a kit from Dixon's around 1980/1 it came with the CE5 standard lens, 28mm and 135mm and a Slik 88 tripod. I used it for about 2 years and loved it. Soligor lenses were very popular in the 70's and 80's including budget preset telephotos. I had a 200mm again bought from Dixon's. It's a good find and if it hasn't any light leaks you got a bargain.

The little button on the left side of the camera is the exposure memory button, if you hold it the meter will freeze and you can for exemple mesure for the shadows, hold the button, recompose your scene and finally shot... I own the CE-4s a great little camera that never disappointed me, 1/2000s is a great and it's a Pentax K mount so you can mount a very large choice of very good lenses (Super Takumar serie for exemple)

Chinon's niche was making own-brand stuff with names like Revueflex, Gaf, Sears and others for the global market. They kept on trend with the big Japanese manufacturers, and occasionally offered innovations of their own, like the Memotron. The Chinon Memotron offered the ability to have exposure automation with any M42 screw mount lens, and there were loads around in the 1960s and 70s, like the superb Takumars. Other manufacturers required a dedicated lens for aperture priority exposure. In the UK Chinon is associated with Dixons, who often bundled gear together to hit a price point. Some of the stuff like autowinders, is of questionable benefit in 2019, but a lot of it is still useful. The best thing about Chinon is there are some real sleepers in the lens line up, not least the excellent multicoated 50mm 1.7. I think the enema looking device may be a film washer!

Dixons is still around but as Currys PC World. Chinon became Kodak (Japan), they effectively gave us the first digital camera sensors. The early Kodak digital cameras were made by Chinon. The CE-5 I bought new and still works well, even after some rough use. There was an option for the first production auto-focus lens, don't bother, it's AF but not as we know it. The sideways button on the front is the exposure lock, "AEL" - expose here and reframe. The front lever will close the aperture, then there is the lens release, The flash which extends out over the lens for macro work should still work, it is probably a dodgy battery connection from perhaps leaving batteries in it too long and gone manky. It does come apart to fix it, small screws. I have the PW-545 Power Winder, it is not as sophisticated as the PW-535 with Interval-Timer and Pre-Set Counter.

Button below the PC socket is the memory lock. These preset lenses (300mm f5.6, 400mm f6.3, and 500mm f8) were made in a single factory - "Manufacturer," is whoever paid for this week's batch of labels. While they won't set the world on fire, they offer an acceptable telephoto capability at a reasonable price.

I've had and still occasionally use a CE-5 bought new in the early 80s. It has proven very reliable. The button bottom left of the lens housing is the AE lock but you have to hold it in whilst half-pressing the shutter. The flash is very powerful, it can cover a function room e.g. entire wedding party. It implies a GN of 280 but I suspect double that. I suspect one of two problems. Either batteries have been left in too long and have corroded the terminals (been there) , or the switch is dirty (been there) for which we have switch cleaner. It comes apart quite easily, just remove all the tiny screws (6? back and flash tube). Do not use it on a digital cameras as there is a high voltage across its pins.

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss well that's a shame. Mine has had a lot of hard use. One thing to check is the self-timer switch on the front. If it is half-cocked the camera does misbehave. Rarely used they can build up a little corrosion. I noticed you cycled it. Or the shutter rotary switch. The only way to clean them without dismantling is to move them around several times. The sensor at the front of the roof may need cleaning, the nearby black foam does degrade and leach onto the sensor. The shutter curtain may need cleaning but I suspect the shutter rotary switch. A short shot of Servisol Super 10 from the outside may clear up the problem, it is an electrical cleaner/lube. The original batteries were silver oxide 357, the LR44 is an alkaline and slightly different voltage, but should work (they do in mine).

Bringing back memories, I had a Chinon CE4S with motorwinder and "leather" protective case for camera+winder, Chinon flash and also the big data back which could write a line of text along the bottom of your photo, as long as you remembered not to have the motor winder switched on when you took a shot so you could write the text before winding the film on. I don't remember where the kit went, probably binned many years ago. I loved that little camera, used it until I upgraded to a Canon with more automatic modes. The CE5 looks almost exactly the same as my CE4S, the only difference I think was that the CE4 had a little window which showed you the aperture set on the lens, must have had a little lens focussed on the aperture ring. I would like another Chinon but there doesn't seem much point now film is hardly made or developed anymore.

Chinon are not as underdog as they used to be. But they are still a steal occasionally. Cheap brands where usually (but not always) bought by people with little idea of taking care of their stuff, and are often in a sorry state when you find it. On the other hand they might have been bought by a mother who had a brief moment of thinking she would throughly document the children’s upbringing, and then put the whole lot in the back of a drawer. All in all Chinons are of surprisingly good quality with little to make them seem inferior to contemporary Canon or Minoltas for example. Not like with something like Petri, where the quality is no doubt worse. Only the outwardly visible design is perhaps a bit more homely, but definitely not without charms. The 135mm 2.8 is something special as well as the 50mm 1.7 you have. They are both quite close to old Pentax Takumar quality in their rendering. Their big impediment to further success of the brand was no doubt the name. Associability with such not very high end words as “Chinese” (Chinese goods and electronics where not exactly renowned at the time) and chintz. Perhaps something a Japanese company would have a hard time fully understanding.
