    Compact "pancake" standard prime for Pentax K-mount cameras - slim, sharp, and a bit of a cult favourite.

    Key specs:

    • 45mm focal length (near-standard/normal)
    • f/2.8 maximum aperture
    • Pentax K-mount
    • Manual focus
    • Ultra-slim pancake design

    The Chinon 45mm f/2.8 is a lovely little pancake lens - its ultra-slim profile keeps your camera compact and pocketable, making it a great everyday "walkaround" or street-shooting option. The 45mm focal length sits right around the natural, normal field of view, so it's versatile for everything from portraits to landscapes and general shooting.

    Warranty: 2 Months from purchase

    All second-hand film cameras sold at Camera House NZ come with a 2 month warranty when they've been film tested by us.

    Our 2 month warranty covers mechanical and electronic failures that occur during normal use. If something goes wrong with your camera during this period, bring it back and we'll sort it out.

    This warranty reflects our confidence in the cameras we sell and our commitment to getting you out shooting with reliable equipment. We've been in the photography business since 1953, and we stand behind the gear we sell.

    Guarantee: Film Tested

    We put a roll of film through each camera to verify that the shutter, film advance, and light meter (where fitted) are working correctly. This real-world testing ensures you're getting a camera that's ready to shoot, not just one that looks good on the shelf.

    About the brand

    Chinon

    Chinon Industries was a Japanese camera and lens maker founded in 1948, known for SLR cameras, compact cameras and camcorders, including models it built on an OEM basis for other brands. Eastman Kodak became a majority shareholder in the late 1990s and fully acquired Chinon in 2004, and the brand's film era cameras remain popular with collectors.
