Ah, that's why it wouldn't work.
Thanks! This lens (and my other Hexanon) have really transformed my Panny G2.
The only downside is the 2X crop factor makes my 50 a 100 and my 200 a 400.  I'm going to have to hunt down a 1.8/28 Hexanon next... |

I think I need to find a 2.8/15 for landscapes. The 50 (and of course the 200) are too tele on the G2 for landscapes...at least on a small island! |

Yeah, I think it will take some offline hunting to get a good price...everything online (especially eBay) seems over-inflated right now.
Do you have a link to some work done with that lens? |

Attila did test my lens before sending it to me:

http://forum.mflenses.com/konica-28mm-f1-8-uc-hexanon-t44594,start,15.html#1186269
and I did a few shoots with it too, all wide open and on high ISO since our actual weather isn't nearly that nice like yours:

Thanks! Overall, looks like a great lens! Might be the next one I add to the stable. I would love a 2.8/15 but those tend to be big $$$ and fairly rare...though there is one on eBay right now but I can't drop $500 on a lens right now. Someday. |

$479.00 ist cheap for this lens... I wished this lens would be at the german ebay with this pricetag. I wouldn't hesitate a second to bid on this.. even with the frontcap missing.
Here they want "a little bit" more than that
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160679086702
it's a incredible lens from what I see on Attilas posting:
http://forum.mflenses.com/konica-hexanon-uc-15mm-fisheye-sony-nex-3-t44951.html
http://forum.mflenses.com/konica-uc-hexanon-15mm-fisheye-samsung-nx100-t46051.html
the only Hexanon, no wait.. the only lens I really want at the moment, otherwise I'm pretty happy at all.
