Hello.

I have a sony nex 6 with the sigma art 19mm 2.8.
I get a bargain on a konica hexanon 21mm f4 two days ago ( 15euros ) but can't try it because i don't have adapter.

Is it worth to buy the adaptor or the sigma beat it and just sell the konica ?
The konica should be very prone to flare because of it's large front element.

best regards

You can buy an adapter for a few euros, don't miss the chance to get hands on experience with a great lens. Congrats for super deal!
Is lens all black or silver nose lens?

I will try the adapter Wink

the lens is the "middle version" according to this site, all black and metal

It should do nicely on a NEX-6, I've only used it on my A7r, I have a few shots with it on my Flickr feed.

I'm curious to see a comparison too. But if I'd have to guess, I'd say the modern Sigma should be well above any legacy superwide in just about all respects other than manual focusing experience.

I think that too. that's why i hesitate to sell it or buy the adaptor ( i sell my sony a7 last month so i will not buy FF soon )
