The lens is hexanon, no more words.

Reflections with a lot of colors is the newer lens.

Which is more important to you image quality or widest angle ? They are not in pairs. Certainly Konica Hexanon not same level with Vivitar in term of image quality.

Those pictures are stunning Stanley. I too was stunend by the quality of my Hexanons.
The 21mm Hexanon will be a whole level higher in IQ than the Vivitar. Vivitar is a godo lens, Hexanon a great one, I really want the 21mm Hexanon but out of my budget for now.

I paid 12ukp I think for mine, works perfectly, infinity is where it should be. I only have the Hexanon 1.8/50 and 3.5/135 but both are wonderful. I also have Panagor (Kiron/Kino) 2/35 and Macro Focussing Converter in Konica AR mount and those are both great as well, so I am now sticking to collecting more Konica and Kino/Kiron lenses for use on my NEX.
