Chinon CG-5 35mm film SLR camera w/ 28-85mm zoom (uses K-mount lenses)

Note: This camera has a small black mark on its pentaprism visible in the viewfinder as a dark smudge (see last two photos). This does not affect photos or focusing but we've discounted the camera as it might be distracting for some people. 

The Chinon CG-5 is a quality 35mm SLR from the early 1980s which is compatible with popular K-mount lenses (most commonly used on Pentax cameras such as the K-1000). The CG-5 was Chinon's mid-range model in 1982, competing in the market with the similarly configured Pentax ME Super. 

The included lens is a versatile Vivitar 38-85mm 1:3.5-4.6 MC zoom. 

The camera requires two LR44 or SR44/357 batteries (available as an option). 

Condition notes
The camera was tested with a battery and film installed (the film was not developed however) and all functions are working correctly. We verified the camera's shutter speeds and auto-exposure are working with very good accuracy. The camera is good cosmetic condition apart from the dark smudge in the viewfinder mentioned earlier. The included lens is in good condition.
