I am officially jealous. This is the last lens I need to fill out my Konica primes collection. After seeing your great photos I want one even more.

It's a hard to find lens. Congradulations.

Congrats

Doesn't look bad. Wink
Though, seems to be a rather heavy and bulky lens.

BTW, your sensor needs cleaning..... Wink

Yes compared to the 28mm F3.5 the thing is a beast.

Taken with the 28mm F3.5:

I am "selling" it but priced it in a way to make it clear I dun wanna let it go. Smile Smile

Unfortunately the potential value in it keeps me from using it daily as a walk-around lens.

I have enjoyed most of the Hexanon line-up, particularly the 200mm F3.5:

At least the marketing concept isn't bad to look for a buyer of a 1.200 $ lens: http://forum.mflenses.com/konica-uc-hexanon-ar-28mm-f1-8-t72604.html
For sure it's a collector's item.
However, I'll stay with my CV Ultron 28/1.9 RF lens for many reasons. Wink

I don't think I sell mine for 1200 Twisted Evil

Oh! I recall seeing your photos when researching what exactly I got my hands on after purchasing the lens.



I agree with the commenter in that thread, love that blue. Smile

Recent auction
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Konica-Lichtriese-UC-Objektiv-Hexanon-AR-28mm-F1-8-Automatik-RAR-Fast-NEU-/201418529818

Surprised it went that high maybe because of the box...

There is another one with a much lower BIN with no mentioning of any issues and yet it is not selling

I would have bought that lens but the seller will not ship to the US.

Weird, considering the indicated worldwide shipping.

It's gone now, maybe I should have bought it myself. Oh well, maybe next time Wink

I will certainly keep you in mind. This one caught me completely by surprise. I've seen a lot of countries excluded from Ebay listings but never, before this, the US.

He also excluded Belgium, a neighbour country of Germany. I didn't understand neither.

Hello, I'm new here. I collect and I use old lenses. Especially Konica, Pentax (Takumars), Minolta.

3 Weeks ago I got one of these gems more or less accidently. I bought a two cameras together with 5 lenses. I was after the 57mm 1.4 and did not mention the 28mil f1.8 when I bought it. It was was not clear what lens it was from the photo, but it was a good deal anyway. When I opened up the box I found this lens and I was really happy as you can think. It is a fantastic lens! When I use it on a A7R with adapter you have a minimum distance of 8cm! I can not wait to shoot more pictures with it.
