Old film Chinon CS + 3 lenses, any info? Beginner!

[Hrímfaxi]

Hi there,

Have myself a Chinon CS (#447794 japan) with 3 lenses + adapter.

1) Mayima sun system F3:5 60~135mm

2) Helios f=135mm

3) Mayima-Sekor f=55m linked to a Eyemik

Anyone know any further infomation on this equipment? Such as age, rough value (not that it's going anywhere!) ..etc?

The light meter battery has died over the years - some sort of Mercury battery? I'll be damned if I can get a replacement now, or can I... being Mercury and all...:shrug:

Cheers in advance.

The Helios 135mm is a Japanese tele which produces excellent results! I've owned a few of them over the years and have never been disappointed. Think it came as M42 screw mount only. The Mamiya-Sekor should also be a good one, is it the f/1.8 version? Not sure what the eyemik is though...a teleconverter or a tube?

Thanks for the reply - Interesting, that's good to hear.

Yeah, the Eyemik is a 2x Teleconverter - not that I'm 100% what that actually is *newbie alert!*

As for the Mayiya-Sekor, yup, it is.

Apparently a 675 zinc-air battery can be used as a replacement.
