I have just bought this set. Once again pictures and description weren't very clear, but as the last lot I bought like this (http://forum.mflenses.com/i-just-bought-this-lot-t68963.html) was such a win I went for it
Razz

Some pics from the announcement





Bottom right corner, a case for a 24mm is what caught my eye.

Nice find. It should be a Hexanon AR 24 mm (F16 version).

Edit: Or likely a 35mm F2.8 if the 24mm case is not there.

If it is a Hexanon 24 that could be a great deal.

The case is hexanon 24 for sure. I have the same one.
Too blurry to see the text, but looks like a 24mm.

Ahh, the strap is identical to the one I lost with a stolen camera some 15 years ago. Bought it brand new ~84.

Hmmm. I dunno. That case looks to me more like the case from the highly sought-after f22 version. Here's a photo of the two cases:

Either way, a Hexanon 24mm lens is a remarkable coups. I wish I had one. Congrats!!

f/16 or f/22, both are great! I love my Konica lenses, i do have the 24mm. I shoot film with it primarely because on NEX with crop factor it doesn't give me the full effect of the wide angle.
Someday i'm going to buy an A7 just for my Konica collection...... !

Be warned: once you start liking them, you'll be searching for them!!

Yay!
Set includes:
- A konica FC-1 with motor drive
- Hexanon 40mm f1.8
- Hexanon 24mm f2.8 (f16 AE) with lens hood
- That big whopper is an MC soligor 85-210mm f3.8. Probably worthless but still intrigues me as it has a billion rings and a 1:3 macro mode.
- A really nice Konica lenses folder and manuals (I love old paperwork!)
- Some other accessories such as Minolta filters, straps, cases, 3 film rolls expired in 2013 and beautiful vintage camera bag.

All in superb cosmetical and mechanical condition, just the motor drive has a few damages.

I am going to put a roll of film through that camera while I wait on my AR adapter. These are my first Konica lenses Cool

That's a nice set, and don't write the old Soligor off, it might surprise you. Wink

Congratulations! The FC-1 is one of my favorite Konica SLRs. It's got a great metering system, a clear and luminous viewfinder, and handles like the older mechanical SLRs.
Did you notice the smart camera strap on the camera? I just love those PDQ-snap clips.
The 24/2.8 is a wonderful lens. Sharp all over and great color rendition.
As someone already said, you may be very (VERY!) pleasantly surprised with Soligor. It sold under a multitude of different brands, it may have been made by Tokina, if memory serves.

Very nice set. I didn't notice this ad on 2dehands. I love my 24 too. Top lens and razor sharp.

Wink

Congrats! What a set!
I also found out that the filter reduce the quality of the lens in every way.
The 40mm is about average, but the 24 should give you a good start for collecting konica ar.

The Konica 21, 55 macro and 85 would go nicely with that 24, a 57/1.2 would be icing on the cake.
