Agreed. Word on the street is that among the three Hexanon 135's, the 3.2 is the sharpest. |

I have had 5 or 6 Konica 135mms. I think the 3.2 is the best, but they are all very good.
Only 135mm lenses I have found so far that I thought were better are the Topcon RE Auto Topcor 3.5/135 and the Zeiss Opton Sonnar 4/135. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it!

Konica mounts are worth less than pentax beause you cant use them on a dslr like you can on the pentax dslrs. _________________ ===========

No disagreement.
But probably prudent to mention if Konica AR lens could be mounted to non-Konica SLR it would not be possible to focus to infinity. Persons who don't care about infinity focus, who meet every five years in a broom closet with space to spare, would do just fine with Hexanon AR lenses if they could mount such lenses onto their SLR cameras.
I see the future of the Hexanon AR lenses not with SLR cameras, but with large-sensor mirrorless cameras yet to be developed and come to market. Course if the mirrorless large-sensor camera designs I foresee alter the existing mirrorless registration distance, then my vision is askew. But otherwise, the Hexanon AR lenses all provide an image circle of sufficient size to service nicely even the largest mirrorless camera sensor contemplated. In addition, with a larger sensor, wide angle Hexanons would once again have their status restored, and longer focal length Hexanons would become more practical, all while providing wonderful IQ at a relatively low price. |
