Chinon CG-5 and Images near Home

The Chinon CG-5 was made in Japan circa 1983. Although some might claim that it does not have the "ruggedness" of its contemporary cameras from Nikon and Pentax, it is very nicely featured. I also find that it is comfortable to use in the field. Exposure can be made by shutter priority manner, aperture priority mode, or a manual mode. Its lens mount is compatible with a large range of lenses from Pentax, Ricoh, and other P/K type mounts.
I have had this camera for some time, and recently rediscovered it in the bottom of a camera bag. I do not remember where and when I first acquired it.

Here in St. Louis area the end of winter and lead-in to early spring have had a lot of wet and sloppy conditions. So, when I loaded this camera with a fresh roll of Kodak 400 color print film, I could not wait to use it and started shooting objects and subject here at home and close at hand.
To finish it off, I made a short visit to St. Martin's church yard on Old Gravois Road in High Ridge.

Developing was done right here using the Caffenol process, using safe common household products for the chemistry. This process results in all film types yielding monochrome images. I like to add a sepia tint digitally.
