I guess the subject lens is an accessory, so am posting on this board. I'm not heavily into attachment lenses. This is my first for a non-rangefinder camera (here was the earlier one for my Konica III):

This is the auction for the subject lens:

My problem there was authentication. I didn't want the lens unless it was a genuine Konica lens. The seller offered me these additional photos:
Thereafter I was a little surprised to discover this very detailed write up at the wellspring of all Konica data:
http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/Zubehoer/eVorsatzlinsen.html
Included there is even a link to the user's manual for this lens.
So I bought the lens for the following reasons:
1. It was inexpensive
2. It is authentic Konica issue
3. I own several Konica lenses having 55mm filter rings with which this lens will work
4. I found it collectible
The lens arrived today in its Konica case. It is heavier than I anticipated, and it is indeed a very nice, high quality, piece of Konica history.
I like this #1 lens. Now if only I can locate the #2 lens at an equally affordable price.

Just came across this while searching for the Konica #2 attachment lens:
I am well aware asking prices on eBay mean nothing whatsoever.
That established, I would observe either this German seller has a PhD in overpricing, or else I did pretty well with the purchase described in the OP:
Click here to see on Ebay
Does anyone know what these genuine Konica attachment lenses actually should cost? |

This seller has always been a bit on the steep side, as far a i remember, but there are many worse offenders.
The Konica attachment is not seen very often, so prices vary accordingly, from a song ("I know nothing about photography, my friend says this is a specialty filter") to quite high when the seller knows what he is selling. For this price, you should be able to get them both IMO.
EDIT: When looking for it, try the word "bonnette" which is the French term for a close-up attachment. I'm adding this because I got mine years ago as bonnettes. _________________

Thanks, konicamera.
I missed it earlier, but that German seller is offering the pair for a mere 100€
He simply cannot be serious!!
Click here to see on Ebay
At the same time, it might be a while before I'm able to purchase my Konica attachment lens #2 .
Meanwhile I'll just enjoy the #1 lens that arrived earlier today. |
