I have a Konishiroku(Konica) Hexinon 52/1.4 in Konica F mount(40.5mm same as AR)
Has anyone seen any adapters for it.
http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic,p,1364396.html
I would be willing to send the lens to someone that can make an adapter.

I have both lens and adapter too, genuine factory adapter exists , worth to make adapter to mirror less cameras from Konica F TC or body , both more common than genuine adapter. Excellent lenses a bit remind me to early Takumars in optical quality and finish too.
Adapter is may not very easy due lens is auto lens. I have a repair man who able to make adapter to any mirror less cameras from scratch, certainly not inexpensive ~ 150-200 USD in my estimation.

I have seen a Konica f to Konica ar adaptor once on a local site, so they do exist but don't seem too common.

if you know of a decent engineer you could buy an old Konica camera and a c mount adaptor and they could make one for you for quite cheap. |

Looking for the same thing a couple of weeks ago, it costs an arm and a leg for a simple metal ring (90usd).

Maybe it could be fabricated using a Konica F teleconverter, I am looking for one as well.
I seem to have a version that is not listed on the http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/Objektive/e35_28.html page, an earlier F22 pre-set aperture (I like this a lot because it is easily to adjust it stepless or in steps)

There are no adapters being sold. F mount lenses are rather uncommon, so the market for them isn't there.
I have an adapter, for NEX I made it from a set of F mount extension tubes, took me over a year to find those tubes though.

I think your best bet would be to find a beat-up F-mount body. They don't cost much if defective. Another option is an old F-mount teleconverter. They go for pennies usually, except they hardly ever show up. This would get you the front mounting plate for your adapter.

Naturally i scoured the internet for a genuine f-ar adapter but cannot find,
Found a set of extension tubes but very expensive.
Just read your suggestion padam and konicamera,
And would you believe i got an f mount teleconverter off the bay as soon as i searched for it.
Cheap too.
Thanks for the suggestions peeps i'll post back when project konica f to emount is complete.

Very elegant set, with original box and literature. Great for collectors, but I've been seeing it on Ebay for 2 years now and no one seems interested.

BTW the extension tubes have 55mm thread. So I get a EOS/55mm adapter from eBay. This turned out to be a reversing ring. The pitches are a little bit difference but the thread engaged reasonably well. Unfortunately the ends that needed to be joined are both male so now I need a coupling.  |

Those are K/AR mount, not F-mount, unfortunately. Very decent price BTW.
Incidentally, if anyone is looking for extension rings in K/AR mount, I recommend third party ones (Kenko, Vivitar, Soligor, etc.), because Konica only made manually operated rings.

Just scored myself a set of tubes, woohoo!
At least I'll be able to try out my 52/1.4 now, and keep a closer eye out for other F mount beauties.
Just found a nice 35/2.8 preset, only it's in on a site I'm not sure I trust...
http://world.taobao.com/item/42867776314.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z3o.7695460.14.34.sYulsd
The tube set I got isn't the greatest option for mounting the lens to, as it uses the aperture lever to hold the lens on the mount, and so it's not very secure at all, I'm surprised Konica would do it this way, the camera body is much more secure.

Very nice, Lightshow! Please post pictures after you build your adapter. I have an F mount 85mm 1.8 on the way and I found a cheap TC to convert to NEX. Does anyone know how wide an AR-NEX adapter is? I'm assuming that one would be the correct size... |

Yes, the register is the same as AR mount.
That 1.8/85 should be great, congrats.
Here's a couple of pics from the 2.8/100 F mount on NEX-3:

Beautiful shots, that 100mm is smooth. I may end up snatching one of these as well. How's the build quality on these early lenses? |
