This is in the early F mount and is just simply stunning, incredibly sharp and contrasty with loads of 3d and character, can't imagine a better 35mm lens. Best part is it cost me 25ukp in mint, unused as new condition. How much is a Summicron? pmsl

I like the shots (#1) of the Fed, and (#3) of the Mamiya very much. Are you shooting film with those, too? Very Happy

Great samples with nice rendering, my fav is also the mamiya cam shot....I thought that early Hexanon F mount could not be adapted on DSL-R/nex!...

Register distance is same than latest AR lenses, mount diameter is small like Exakta. I have genuine F->AR adapter , sadly very rare , even simple electrical tape can fix F lens to AR adapter. They are premium quality lenses and 35mm , 50mm not uncommon in USA.

Cheers guys, as Attila says, I used electrical tape to attach it to an AR-NEX adapter, one day i will find a TC or bellows I can take the F mount from to make a proper adapter.

I do indeed shoot film in the Fed and the Mamiya, although the Mamiya is only in my care for a short while, it belongs to a good friend.

One more I shot yesterday.

For 25ukp this has to be the biggest bargain I've bought.

Magnificent scene and finish!

Thankyou for pointing me to Konishiroku lenses, now I need to collect all of them!

Ian, if possible, would you mind posting a photo of the lens? And I agree. It is amazing the bargains that can be gotten on these Konica's. Hopefully the price will stay reasonably low until we collect them all. Cool

It's identical to this one:

Light was awful, lots of fog, but lens still shines.

Pretty magic in bad light!

Thanks for posting a photo, Ian. On photo #13, the highlights of the yellow bushings have an odd artifact. Is this due to the camera sensor; an HDR program or something like that? On my monitor, the colors seem hyper, almost psychedelic; which is fine if that is what you want. I just want to understand the variables involved. Thanks, again, for sharing this with us.

Yes, I noticed that too, it was present out of camera, and on some of the gas bottles shots, the NEX was in vivid mode as usual, not sure what went on.

Ah, ok, the vivid mode. Thanks. It could be that "yellow channel" got over tweaked by the combination of the conditions. I've experienced similar looks with photoshop. But, excellent shots none-the less. Thanks, again.

Yes, I also had the reds overload on a couple of shot of red gas bottles. Not sure what combo of circumstances made it happen, first time it has.

Thanks for noticing, I always value feedback, keep it up!
