On both Konica 35mm film cameras and on Samsung NX and Sony NEX digital cameras. Adapters are cheap on ebay from the Far East.
They will only work on mirrorless cameras as the Konica flange distance (the distance from the mount to the film/sensor) is 40.5mm and all DSLRs have longer flange distances such as 44mm for Canon, 44.5mm for Sony, 46.5mm for Nikon, 45.42mm for Pentax.
Here's a sample of what the 3.2/135 is capable of, this was shot with the aperture wide open at 3.2 and at the minimum focus distance of 1m, on my Sony NEX-3:

Congratulations on two great lenses! I have the 135/3.2, which is stellar and better than the 135/3.5 (which I also have). That 1 meter MFD is really helpful for great subject isolation.
I´m picking up a 35/2.8 this weekend (along with a camera body, a 50/1.7, a 100/2.8, some flashes and a case, all for 75 USD - gotta love the prices you can find these lenses for), hopefully mine will be in as good shape as yours. _________________ Sony A7R and wildly varying flora of lenses |

I wasn't lucky to get my Konica lenses as cheap as you guys,but still don't complain on prices versus other brands _________________ shapencolour |

The Konica 35mm f2.8 would be very interesting with a Speedbooster. Still crossing my fingers Metabones will make one sometime next year.
Wide open on a m43 body
As above but close to mfd
Lovely bokeh... if you are into such things _________________ Currently shooting with Fuji X-E2s + Metabones Speedbooster + m42 and CY glass 💕

shapencolour: Lovely images from the 135/3.2 and 35! Now I can hardly wait until Sunday when I pick my copy of the 35... Regarding prices, I think I´m blessed by acting on a small market (Sweden), with lots of people inheriting cameras that seem worthless ("who could ever use these old lenses and film cameras...") and pass them on for peanuts. My first Konica lens was the 5-element 28/3.5 Hexanon that cost me the equivalent of 8 USD, including the case... _________________ Sony A7R and wildly varying flora of lenses |

Nice shots everyone, it really makes me wonder why my Konica lenses are underwhelming to me, I really should solve this enigma some day soon, maybe when I get the A7r. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...
