Good article, always looking for alternative lens options.

Giving thumbs up to image quality and a thumbs down on corner sharpness is a bit contradictory though.

I see your point but it's the overall image quality which makes it a thumbs up for me.
In this case I wrote "Image quality (Mostly stopped down)"

Many like the old Carl Zeiss 58mm f2 (M42) or the Russian copy Helios 44-2 for example.
I guess that many that do would also say that it has good image quality even if this has quite bad corner sharpness wide open, just like this Chinon.

But everyone will not agree with my opinions of course and that's why I try to add many test images to my reviews.
And hopefully these will cover enough so the viewer can get a own opinion.

Mant thanks for you nice comment and feedback, much appreciated!
And keep snapping.
