Indeed a nice shot.
Strangely I can't get friends with mine, and I've had two. And yes I am talking about the lens Wink. While the 135/3.2 and the 300/4.5 shines, the hexanon 200s just isn't there. My /3.5 is quite soft wide open but stopped down it's sharper than the /4 version. It has nice color and contrast though. Just sharpness gone missing.

I have all variants from this lens, they can be a bit different. Which version is this exactly?

may be it's because of a different version of the lens... thanks.

Attila, I'm not too good in Konica lenses differences, all I know it's an EE version , serial # is 7473540.
thanks.

Going by the serial number, it's probably the early EE variation for AR bayonet chrome ring with rubber focusing ring (per this website: http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/Objektive/e200_35.html).

Mine is this one:

Konica Hexanon AR 200 mm / F3.5
middle EE variation for AR bayonet

My 200/3.5 is a 3.5 - 16 AE and my 200/4 is 4 - 22 AE version. Maybe it's a bad lens/camera combination I have. I will keep them for future camera bodys to come.

you know bad samples happen from time to time, maybe you'd look for another one?
