Chinon CM-5, manual SLR

I found this camera in our warehouse, resting unused for many years. I put the LR 44 battery and the lightmeter was ready. There are 2 red leds and a green one in the viewfinder. When the green led lights the aperture/shutter set is ok for a correct exposure. The upper red led indicates overexposure and the lower one indicates underexposure. Shutter speed can be set from 1/1000th sec to 1second + Bulb.
The camera is a standard SLR of the time, medium sized with average ergonomics.
Mine has a 35-100mm zoom lens with maximum aperture from 3.5 to 4.3 depending of the focal length set. It has a Macro feature for picture taking till 1/4 lifesize.

I put a roll of Fuji film 100ASA to test it. Film sensitivity is set on the shutter speed dial. The camera has a split screen viewfinder and is very easy to focus and choose the exposure but lacks a Depth-of-Field preview, so it is impossible to judge the blurred areas of the picture.

Here are some samples from a walk in the flea market area:
