Chinon's aperture-priority K-mount SLR — the CG-5, electronic, 1982.

The Chinon CG-5 was a 35mm film SLR introduced in 1982 within Chinon's K-mount range. Chinon positioned its bodies as affordable alternatives to the mainstream Japanese SLR makers, and the CG-5 used the Pentax K bayonet so buyers could draw on the wide K-mount lens supply.

It is a single-lens-reflex camera for 35mm film on the Pentax K mount. The CG-5 provided aperture-priority automatic exposure and manual control with TTL metering and an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter, making it a battery-dependent electronic body of its period.

It suits general and student photographers who want automatic exposure with the flexibility of K-mount lenses at a modest price. The controls are conventional and easy to learn, and the mount makes building an outfit inexpensive.

The CG-5 is cheap on the used market and benefits from plentiful K-mount glass. Inspect the foam seals and mirror-damper foam for perishing, confirm the electronic shutter and meter operate with a fresh battery, and note the body needs power to fire. Check film transport and screen condition; Chinon parts and repair support are now scarce.
