Konica Hexanon vs. Minolta Rokkor lenses

[blazejs]

Hello

I use already Minolta MD SLR system (Rokkors, among them 50/1.4) and I'm happy with it. But lately I have found a nice set of Konica T3 with some lenses (among them 50/1.4 and 40/1.8 Hexanons). It's not that expensive and I have heard that Konica's lenses are among the best so I'm tempted to buy it. In fact I don't really need it but my GAS is still too strong ;-) Does anyone know how good are these Hexanons comparing to Rokkors?

Greetings

My guts feelings is that these two types of lenses are very similar in optical properties.

Both family of lenses are excellent, no arguments there, certainly good enough for me, that's why I own and use both.

But...

If you like sharpness over creamy bokeh, you'll like Konica lenses more
If you like creamy bokeh over sharpness, you'll like the Rokkors more

... in general. Exceptions are there, of course.
