www.photodo.com gave an excellent rating to the 28mm Hexanon. I have yet to
find a poor M-mount Hexanon lens.

Hello All!

 

Given the recent interest in the Hexar RF I thought it appropriate to post a
few photos from my first roll with the 28mm M-Hexanon lens mounted on the
M5.

Y'all do know that Konica sold it's camera interests to Sony? Sony
apparently knows zilch about the Hexar RF and M-Hexanon lenses. Owners are
on their own as far as repairs are concerned. I didn't feel that buying a
lens was a big risk. The Hexar RF body is another story. Repairs down the
road may be difficult.

 

There is a Hexar RF and 50/2 lens for sale in the Rangefinder Forum
classifieds.

 

Good luck!

 

Wayne
