Yes, it is an F mount.
Condition is excellent as can be seen from the pictures.
Aperture blades are snappy and clean. Focus is smooth.

I do not know for sure - I acquired this without a camera. I don't think so.
I am sure that Attila will know, or if not maybe one of the other forum members - DigiChromeEd perhaps?

This lens used on the Konica FP camera, which is an early SLR based on Konica F-mount, but still can be used on later AR-mount Konica SLR by using of an F-AR adapter. Laughing

genuine factory made F->AR adapter is rare, difficult to find, lens has same register distance than AR lens have. Inexpensive lenses due rare adapter, worth to buy them and pay for a custom made adapter or wait until genuine adapter come, I have many of these lenses I could try to buy all and I still not mind ...

I could make my own adapter but It's a lot easier if you have a sample adapter. Nobody has one. I've only seen a single adapter but it was a exakta to F adapter...

Of course one adapter can be used with other F mount Konishirokus.
And these are very cheaply priced compared to AR Konicas.

Thx for the ebay link, but I find 90usd way overpriced for a piece of simple metal (excluding the likely 40usd shipping costs and if he/she would even send it to Holland!!). I always thought that the F mount was the same as AR but without coupling, well I already have all flavours of the AR 50(ish)mm. This version is most likely optically identical or inferior to the AR version (way cheaper) witch I don't use anyway because of the 1.2 and 1.4, (and 57/1.4 and still have 3x 1.7 lying around ..and 52mm 1.8 Smile )

But I just liked this lens because of its old style and it's konica Smile, but I don't like to put lenses on the shelf, they need to be used.

Okeydokey, I have tried to sell this lens for a while now, but to no avail.
I am offering it for SWAP to anyone who is interested.
I am happy to consider any M42, PK, or Nikon AI or AI-s lenses in exchange.
Feel free to contact me with any or all offers if you are interested.
