Recently I got hands on Konica Hexanon AR 35mm 2.8 EE in excellent condition however didn't find to much info on that one just some sample pictures which looks promising.
Did someone is using this lens on M4/3?
Any information will be useful and feel free to post some pictures/samples here.
Sharpness?
Rendering?
Resolution?
ETC...
Thanks!
The lens itself.

I have the Hexanon 35mm f2.0. Still searching for an affordable 35mm f2.8. Great lens and a "must have".
They are not becoming any cheaper, I can tell you that.

In answer to OP's question:
Yes, like with any lens having K/AR mount, the Hexanon 35mm f2.8 is a fine choice for use on m4/3 cameras. |

TBH - I love already the performance you showed me with your samples.

Affordable? I can not complain about the price I paid for... For how much they are going for?

Low, 20-70USD, my estimate, rarer lens than 28mm Hexanon for example.

I believe Attila has it right, at least at the high end. Don't see many of these, or any Hexanon lenses for that matter, for US$20 these days. Prices for these 2.8s have been on the rise in the last couple of months. Of course, that's not exactly news.  |
