New income today with 4 lenses - two of them Hexanons
Looks like never used. Only a little bit dust on the cam.
Have read that the 1.8/40 was one of the sharpest lens. Need some new batteries for the cam and then I will see.

You sent me the link few days ago but didn´t ordered the adapter right now. Seems to be only 1 seller for these kind of adapters at the moment. Konicas are not very popular.
A good chance to buy some lenses before the prices rise up.

Got with the cam and the Hexanons 2 Tokinas zoom lenses.
3.5-4.5/35-135 RMC and 4/80-200 RMC. I guess that is standard quality ?

Good catch, Rolf! The two Hexanons are keepers. I've always wanted
the FC-1, but if the meter goes out, it can't be repaired (unless you find
another meter to replace it) and then the camera is a paperweight. I
opted for the T4 that doesn't need the meter/battery to operate.
Good luck and hope to see some pics!  |

Which 28 mm do you have?
Color reflections? Very good and strong contrast.
Ambar reflections? The best of both.
Attila is right. Buy all the hexanons that you can. Don't lost the 1,8/85 (near leica level).
The 75/150 zoom is very good too. Not in the net commentaries, but I had it and it's sharp.
Good luck. Rino.

Hi Rino,
won the auctions yesterday or the day before. Still waiting for the shipment. Will give short notice and few image samples when they will arrive. I read your post unfortunately too late. Yesterday I let pass an auction with the zoom 75/150. I own so much zooms in this range up to 210mm that I could open a shop. Anyway thanks for your info even for the 85mm. I will have a look on it.

erm It might not be a serious problem as nothing shows in my viewfinder for my similar FT-1 (bought it cheap for repair), but the camera still takes accurate exposed shots.

When the electronics work, life is good, once they go out repairs are
expensive (if there are parts for them) or impossible if parts can't be
found. I went the Autoreflex route because of this as Konica's electronics
are not as robust in these F's as other brands. |

Well I only bought the FT-1 to try it out (out of two managed to get one working basically) and it uses four AAA batteries, but my only point was:- that even if you have no exposure/shutter reading data in the viewfinder i.e dead meter, the camera can still work.

Is there a special reason to buy Hexanons? Is it because they aren't made any more?

Excellent quality at a cheap price... like FD lenses the digital guys haven't found an easy way to use them, so the price stays low for the common ones.

You can use the lenses only with the Konica film cams or with a m4/3 adapter at Pana G1/GH1/GF1 or Olympus pen.
