A rare opportunity to own a complete vintage 35mm film SLR kit from the early 1980s, featuring the highly regarded Chinon CE-5. This camera was produced in Japan between 1981–1987 and was positioned as a high-end enthusiast SLR, offering advanced features for its era. Today, it is highly sought after by collectors and film photography lovers alike.
Introduced in the early 80s, the CE-5 was one of Chinon’s most advanced models.
It uses the Pentax K-mount, making it compatible with a wide range of Pentax and third-party lenses.

Aperture Priority Auto Exposure (a big deal in its time)
Electronically controlled shutter speeds up to 1/2000s
Bright viewfinder with LED exposure indicators

The Chinon CE-5 was one of the first SLRs to fully embrace electronic shutter control and modern exposure automation while retaining full manual control. It sits at an important point in camera history: the bridge between fully mechanical SLRs of the 70s and the electronically advanced bodies of the late 80s.
With the legendary Pentax 50mm f/1.7 lens included, this kit is not only collectible but also capable of producing beautiful images if you want to shoot film today.
