Title says "For Sale", but I might just give it away Smile

Seems in very good condition. Boxed with both caps. Anyone out there into Konica film might appreciate it ? Certainly nobody seems interested on fleabay. No idea how it performs. Maybe it's a dog and that's why no-one interested Smile.

Not really much info out there on this lens. I don't think this is a Sun lens.But I could be wrong.

The name on the lens is Sunactinon. One word not two.

Hey, thats really weird, you are right, on the lens, it is all one word in capitals, whereas on the box and the lens cap it is definitely two words.

Quote from the VM under SUN, don't know if it's relevent, certainly no mention of SUNACTINON or even Actinon :-

A programme in the UK seems to have been sourced from 3 different series, as (1) f2.8, 135mm; f3.5, 200mm; and (2) f2.8, 35mm, f5.5, 300mm; and (3) finally f2.8 28mm. The reviewer seems to have been most impressed with the long lenses.

In 1972, Phago Photographic listed a series of Sun YS auto lenses for SLR's as follows:
f2.8 24mm 10glass
f2.8 28mm 7 glass
.....


While I was looking closely at the front of the lens, I noticed that there are what look like hairs or fibres in places around the outside of the outermost element. They dont move if I try to clean them off. I take it this is the first manifestation of fungus?[/b]

Konica Hexanon 28mm f3.5 dirt cheap one even if it has stunning image quality. Almost all genuine Konica Hexanons are very cheap nowadays, this is reason why third party lenses have no price at all.
