I have to choice among the follow 35 mm lenses
1- MC Rokkor-X 2,8 - last 7 elements version. Aperture sticky. Repair?
2- Super Takumar 3,5
3- Konica hexanon AR 2,8 - N° 6.9xx.xxx. Oldest one.
4- Auto Chinon 2,8 - not multicoated.
I just have the Minolta plain MD 2,8/35 in 49 mm. ring, and don't like it so much.
Any suggestion inside the lenses named ut supra? |

Yeah, thats a shallow reason, but all of these should be at least good enough for practical purposes.

From your list, the one that stands out is the Super-Takumar.
Why?
It is the only one with no issues.
Rokkor - sticky aperture
Konica - adapter
Chinon - made by?
Super-Takumar will also have that legendary engineering precision that makes everything about it such a joy to use - silky smooth focus, reliable and positive aperture in half as well as full stops, manual and auto switch.
From what you have to choose from - it is my pick
Oh, and it is cute......
OH  |

2 or 1(if can be repaired)
Konica, with adapter? or modify the mount? I dont know much more about this lens, just heard that the Flange Focale is 40.5mm. I m not sure you can use it to take landscapte photo.
Chinon? I dont know much more about this lens. what about the mount?
2, I think it is easy to use.

I have the Auto Chinon . It is sharp and has nice colours. I got mine for 18 euros.
The downside is the size. I want something more compact for my A7.
I am thinking about the SMC 3,5 or about the CV 35/2.5. |

Thank you, guys.
The chinon is M42.
I like more the konica and/or minolta with my cams.
Almost all my lenses are minolta, but the stiki aperture is a problem that don't know if can be repair. |

Sony nex 35n and 5N.
I read that the nikon/nex adapter should be ok for hexanon lenses. Should be? Any other solution? |

In almost all minolta's forums like mi-fo, the 7 elements 2,8 is better than the 1,8. |

ah I see, well the lens could only be used for macro work then if you wanted to adapt it to Nikon mount, I have seen you get adaptors for Konica lenses to Nikon but they have a glass element in them and that's never really a good thing.
you could always build an adaptor if you have an old Konica SLR or an extra Konica lens cap and a body cap or c mount adaptor for Nex!! a bit of a mission though. |

ok, I understand... What if I am kindhearted guy and send you an Konica/NEX adapter for free?
Does this will make some problem in your country?
EDIT: BTW the konica lens will not lock on Nikon adapter and does not reach infinity. It fits nice but as I mention before no lock and no infinity. Other than that IMHO the Konica's have an exceptional glass and this is the way to go.

Don't need those adapters as I have Pentax and Olympus and broken Nikon (sold locally already but the guy still didn't pick-up... I guess he is very busy, amazing...) but will get you one...
I will contact this seller (link bellow) to ship this to your address and not to me. If he says yes then I will need your delivery address, just patience.
