Most of us probably didn't have the chance to get their hands on one of these rare birds, let alone to test one thoroughly.
Some weeks ago - in a local auction and hidden among other Konica stuff including a Konica AR 2.8/21mm lens - there was a lens which I suspected to be the mystery Konica fluorite lens. I noticed that another collector friend already was bidding on the lot, and so I refrained from inflating the price  . He got the set, and shortly I'll be able to compare his newly acquired Konica AR 6.3/300mm Fluorite to some of my best "slow" 300mm lenses such as the Canon FL 5.6/300mm Fluorite, the Nikkor Ai 4.5/300mm ED (non-IF!), and the Mamyia Sekor C 5.6/300mm ULD.
Now my simple question: Should I include another lens and if so, which one?

And this one is apparently super scarce, but just in case... :

Mine appears to have a bit of oil on one of the internal glass surfaces.
It makes it's self visible in low contrast situations.

I don't really have one ... unless you consider the latest Minolta AF lenses as appropriate ... (I wouldn't)
