Description
Here is the way to get a good 35mm SLR at a low cost. The main lens is an f1.7 50mm....quite fast.Chinon is a camera maker with its own brand, usually compatible to the Pentax using the same K-Lens Mount.
But they made good cameras for other companies to sell, this is from Sears Robuck. ( A few years back, Chinon made the 2000 anniversary model of the old 1953 Nikon S2 ... that says something very positive.) One of their models got a consumer rating article as best 35mm SLR in 1975.
It has an electronic shutter system with advanced features that I think make it like a later Canon in the AE series, or a Nikon FE.
Features: Automatic, compact, TTL metering full open, full aperture program AE, aperture priority AE, and manual modes. There is even a setting (using a tripod) to get the maximum depth of field at 1/8th of a second. I am sending a Polaroid filter ( learn how to use it ).
The body has contacts for later electronic lenses.
You will get an extra K-Mount telephoto lens. It is a SEARS Auto 80-200mm f4 with a case.
I will print some pages of the manual for you to download, and then I give after sale support.

Me: I got my 35mm start in 1956. See my other auctions, and even some camera art I listed.
