Chronology of cameras Chinon
Le Chinon CE-3 Memotron is an improved version of the CE II Memotron. Both cameras share a similar appearance, but the CE-3's body is more compact. The new model can be motorized up to 2 frames per second, using a motor shared with another model, the CM-3.
Compared to the CE II, there is also a relocation of the green warning LED near the eyepiece. The eyepiece now includes a built-in shutter blind. The multiple exposure feature present in the CE II is removed in the CE-3.
In France, Chinon SLR cameras are less known and less common than those of other Japanese brands. This might be due to the brand's late arrival in the market and a delay in gaining recognition. However, Chinon regularly released new models from the early 70s until the late 80s, with a very good level of quality, ensuring full compatibility with M42 and later K mount lenses, at a very attractive price.
