View from a Castle ruin with the Konica Hexanon AR f2.8/35mm

[Dachs]

Hello forum,
here are first test shots using the Konica Hexanon f2.8/35mm. I'm really surprised because it was a bargain and not on top of my wishlist.
In my opinion the focal length 35mm looks good on a m4/3 camera (Olympus E-P5), better than expected.
Taken still without lense hood. The ambient condition was already beginning twilight

Nice pics.

I especially like the bridge.

A very nice set of images with another underrated Konica lens. I mean really, 20 usd ( I just looked on ebay ). Ridiculous. Buy em now for beer money. Later folks will say "you paid what?" Konica lenses are currently (for common FL and typical aperture) my "manufacturer of choice, value series" for lens collectors.

A day before I made some better pics with more contrast because other ambient conditions..
In any case it seems to be very difficult to find the best settings for winter shots in glaring sunlight and at the same time always vaporescent atmosphere.

These are rather good Dachs.
That lens is certainly a bargain and your images are very pleasing.
Thanks for sharing them

Between Christmas and New year, I received 3 lenses: the Hexanon f2.8/35, a Helios 44-M7, and a Tokina RMC f3.5/17mm.
Now I'm feeling more or less complete and should stop any purchase.
For the Tokina I will also open a thread with examples, in some parts from the same location. This allows an interesting comparison.
Thank you for your encouragement!
