Hi,
today during my daily walk I tried out the Konica Hexanon 1.8/40mm with the NEX-5. It is a very nice compact lens and seems to be one of the best Konica ever made.
More information here
http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/Objektive/e40_18.html
Below 3 images (nothing special) to show the sharpness and good texture capabilities of this lens. Like to recommend this lens for NEX-5

Yes, I like it too , good results on NEX , and very good dimensions too. I'm a bit dissapointed about the sharpness wide open . But the Hexanon 50/1.7 seems to me less sharp wide open .For wide open I prefere the Rokkor 45/2.
But stopped down the little Hexanon is a brave sweet lens. It seems that the prices are growing up since the mirrorless bodies emerged.

For sharpness wide open on crop bodies, check the two pictures halfway down the page about rear lens baffles, before and after applying a baffle to the Hexanon pancake, it's pretty impressive

Lovely results! I'm blown away by this lens. Does the baffle just make a difference to the corners? Mine seems pretty good wide open as it is:
