Well-known
A shop in Germany was able to adapt for me a 38mm f/1.8 Konica Hexanon from an Auto S3 to rangefinder-coupled Leica M mount. I am still putting the lens through its paces, but here are some initial impressions. TLDR, the 38mm is a really, really good optic for 1966. Although greatly eclipsed in objective performance like all classic rangefinder lenses at this point, I can see why folks at the time spoke so highly of it. Its center sharpness is as good as anything of the era, equal to the Summaron on a 24 mp sensor. It's no Summaron, however. 🙂
