With all the talk about Konicas recently, here’s an example of Hexanon lens pics. This were taken with a Konishiroku Hexanon 35mm lens, hand held on a 30D. The Konishiroku a very early Konica lens. It even needs an adapter to fit the AR mounts.

Nothing was done to the pics except auto levels and resizing.



And here is a 100% blow up, again nothing done to the pic.



These are pretty sharp lenses, and start around 45USD or so.

Yes. Top quality lenses. Currently I falled in love with Olympus OM and Carl Zeiss Oberkochen lenses.

It is one of the things I really bemoan, that Konica lenses cannot be adapted to the EOS system.

Yes, dream lenses. There IS one Hexanon/Leica, a Konishroku I believe. I see one on ebay from time to time. It costs in the thousands USD. I don't know the history of that lens.

Yes I bemoan that also. Probably someone like Brian could make it work, by transplanting the optics.
