Chinon CM-5 - a photo on Flickriver

Chinon CM-5

And so what exactly is the difference between a Chinon CM-7 and a CM-5?

Well despite the similar names and both using K-mount lenses, they are pretty different. The CM-7 is one of the Cosina-built SLRs; the CM-5 pretty clearly comes from a different factory. The baseplate has attachment points for a motor winder. The shutter has different blades and only syncs at 1/60th second. The self-timer is positioned higher. The top-panel controls all look different. The meter LEDs are outside the viewfinder eyepiece (a Chinon quirk) not alongside the viewfinder image. The hand grip is removable. The Chinon feels even a bit more light and plasticky, although with a mellower shutter sound.
