After reading too many postings regarding Hexanon, and have also fallen victim.

I hope I will like it as much as my Hexanon 50mm.

Dante says it's close to the design of Nikkor-W 3.5cm 1.2F
http://www.dantestella.com/technical/hex352.html

What is the characteristic/signature of that Nikkor lens? It seems very popular among collectors. Does UC Hexanon 35mm have the same character/signature?

A lot I have gather about this lens make it very similar to Sonnar to me.
 
Is this lens as least as good as Hexar AF? I have been reading that it's based off the same Nikkor design, but the UC has more modern coating.

Although I can't find too many examples of the UC lens on Flickr, I actually found a lot for Hexar AF and those pictures are amazing. I am quite excited!
 
Drjoke,
you will love the UC. Very pretty boke even in B&W, color slide will knock you out. I bought the 90mm and loved it so much I had to buy the 50mm and 35UC. Enjoy!

The Hexar 35mm f2 on Hexar Silver aka Hexar AF is exactly the same lens as UC 35/2.
 
after you join the group, it will show up in your list of groups you can send photos to. you can do this individually or in a batch (on the "organize" page).

As far as I know there were THREE Konica RF lenses with the focal length of 35mm and f/2.

You mean this one (screwmount)? http://ojyamarche.nobody.jp/hxanon_ltd.html
This pretty much looks like the UC-Hexanon. It may be it's predecessor, design-wise.

Or do you mean this one (M-mount): http://www3.xitek.com/bingqiku/konica/rangefinder/m-konica-lens.htm

This is pretty much bigger than the UC-Hex 35/2, has a concave front element, and a Non-Gaussian design. Probably it's sharper at f/2 as well!
