I recently acquired this 35mm body and zoom lens, in different deals, but both rather cheap.
The body needed some cleaning and restoration, the lens needed cleaning and focus recalibration.

The Chinon CG-5 is a very nicely featured camera from circa 1983.
Shutter is of the vertically running metal leaf type, with speeds from 1/1000 to 8 seconds.
Exposure modes include metered manual, and electronically controlled aperture priority Auto.
There is a 10 second delay electronic self timer, Depth Of Field preview switch, lock-and-hold exposure button, and hot show plus plug-in flash socket. The hot shoe has an extra contact for some sort of dedicated flash. There is also a switch to allow shutter cocking without film advance, for multiple exposures on a single film frame.
Contacts are present outside the mount for an available Chinon Autofocus lens adapter.
The front hand grip is removable, and inside the grip is a holder for spare meter batteries.
Bottom of body has connections for optional motor drive.
Lens mount is for Pentax P/K bayonet.

The Takumar-A zoom lens has range of 28mm to 80mm, and turning the grip past 80 moves the optics into a macro mode. Fastest aperture is f/3.5 at 28mm, f/4.5 at 80mm. Aperture scale has markings for 3.5 through 22, plus "A" setting for cameras equipped with "Program" modes.

The Chinon body does not have "Program" mode, but this setting allows the Takumar-A lens to be used with Pentax digital bodies with exposure modes of Av, Tv, and Program enabled.

To test out both components, I loaded up with a roll of CVS branded ASA 200 print film.

It was Christmas week.
Under a clear winter sky with a low angled sun at midday, I walked the bank of the Meramec River in Sunset Hills across from Old Town Fenton.
Remaining frames were exposed at home, in a mix of available light and flash assisted shots.

Camera felt sure and steady in the hand, a joy to use.
Lens was still a little rough, performing adequately, though possibly slightly soft with distance.
