Got My Hexar That Time!

[dazedgonebye]

After missing out on a couple of recent opportunities, I just won a Hexar AF silver on evilbay!

Yes, I'm excited.

Nice price for that one....

You know, this is my first Konica since I left the Navy in 1986. Looking forward to it.

We should have a Hexar AF shoot-out, maybe a contest...

Cool congrats Steve!

The Hexar has arrived!

It's as the seller described it. Got a few rough spots and the hot shoe is loose. Even so, I think I'm in love.
What a clever camera!
I even found a page on the net that told me how to enable stealth mode and now that is working.

Now I've got to read up.

Hey Steve, I assume you've seen these useful Hexar AF pages?

Compress the hot shoe spring downward, and you should be able to lift the hot shoe spring up and to the rear. Then you will see the hot shoe screws.

You will enjoy the camera. Just make sure that the focus lock is working and you should be fine.

Andy,
Yep, I've got all sorts of pages bookmarked.

Dante,
Thanks for that tip. I'll try it.
The focus lock does seem to work.

Ok,
I can't find any part of the hot shoe that will compress downward.

Steve: go forth and photograph. Finally snagging one is, at best, only half the fun.
