Anyone used a KonicaFT1? (evil SLR! )

Many years ago, on the innenet, there was one of those lens comparisons and the 40 1.8 came in second (forgot which tests) to the Leica 50mm.

Dave (and Paul), really nice shots, somehow textures are more apparent on pictures from the Hexanon lenses.

Here's one from my favorite Hexanon AR, the 35/2:

Sharp? Of course,
"3D"? Got it

I had an FT-1 through my Navy years and a few years after. Lost it about 10 years ago when I left it in a hotel.
Bummer.

It had a nice feel to it.

I'm not looking to amass a bunch of lenses for this one, but earlier in the thread I mentioned that a 80 or 85 would be nice, and wondered if there had been one for it ( my fav. portrait lens on a r/f ) - googled around a bit, but did'nt come up with any info! some one must know? 😕 Dave.

I was even cheaper then than now...never allowed myself an actual Konica lens.

They did make an 85mm f1.8 as I recall.
