Chronology of cameras Chinon
In 1970, Chinon was still only a subcontractor for other camera brands. It was only around 1972 that the first cameras were marketed under the Chinon brand. At that time, it was easy to follow a naming logic for the first models:
EE = Electronic Eye
F = Flash
A = Autofocus
M = Motor
| Year | Focusing | Flash | Motor | DX | ||
| 35 EE |  |
1972 | Rangefinder | No | No | No |
| 35 |  |
c. 1977 | Manual | |||
| 35 EE-II |  |
c. 1977 | Rangefinder | |||
| 35 F-EE |  |
1978 | Manual | Yes | ||
| 35 F-A |  |
1978 | Autofocus | |||
| 35 F-M |  |
1980 | Manual | Yes | ||
| 35 F-MA intrafocus |  |
1980 | Autofocus | |||
| 35 F |  |
1982 | Manual | No | ||
| 35 FS |  |
1982 | Manual | |||
| 35 F-II |  |
1984 | Fixfocus | |||
| 35 FS-II | 1984 | Fixfocus | Yes | |||
| 35 FS-A | 1984 | Autofocus | ||||
| 35 FA Super |  |
1985 | Yes | No | ||
| 35 FA II |  |
1985 | ||||
With the 35 FX III, Chinon reached the limits of its naming logic. Despite being called 34, this model no longer has anything in common with its predecessors.
__________
The Chinon 35 FS-II was introduced at Photokina in 1984, along with the 35 F-II and the 35 FS-A. It is more advanced than the 35 F-II but lacks the autofocus feature of the FS-A.
