The Autochinon 50mm f/1.9 lens has been one of my favorite impulse buys ever. Early in my photography career, I went to a local pawn shop on a whim just to see if they had any vintage camera gear. Lo and behold, they happened to have a small case hidden away in a corner with a handful of old film lenses inside. I looked through them a bit, not knowing what lens mount they were, what the brand names meant, or if they were any good. At this point in time I had a basic mechanical knowledge of how lenses worked, and the Autochinon 50mm in the case seemed to fully function. $8.00 later, I had myself a new lens to play with!
Upon getting the lens home, I did a bit of research to find that the mount was the venerable Pentax K-mount. At the time I was shooting a Sony A7, so I ordered up a Pentax K to Sony E-mount adapter and was off to the races for under $20! I was initially impressed with the colors and sharpness of this lens. It provided vivid colors and contrast for a vintage lens. Sharpness was good, even wide open at f/1.9. The build quality seemed great. I felt like I had found the bargain of the century.
