A little help?

[theraven]

I found a nice little lens in a second hand shop today, immaculate condition, perfect working order. Cannot fault it! Can anyone tell me about it? Any good, brand etc?

I already have a 55mm Chinon 1.7 so a 50mm 2.8 would be a bit daft to keep, thinking of selling it to a good home, someone that would use it more than I will!

It says AUTO FLEX 1:2.8 f=50mm JAPAN on the front. It is M42 fitment.

It really is in beautiful condition! If the aperture was as wide as my Chinon I would keep this as it is in better nick!

Thank you, seems a decent sturdy little lens! Has anyone used one before? Or this brand at all?
