Heads-up: Beautiful Hexanon collapsible 50mm FS

Just happened to see this over on PN. Do not know the seller etc. The lens is expensive, but I'm attaching a picture so you can see what it looks like.

Oh my, that IS pretty. I wonder how it performs against the more pedestrian 50/2 Hexanon?

 

[peter_n]

I seem to recall reading that it is not up to the performance level of the Hexanon-M 50 (especially at f2 ). It is one of a small number of limited production lenses made by Konica in LTM, hence the rather high price.

Dang! $800! For now I'll stick with my Industar-50/3.5. Cost hardly anything; perhaps a quick lunch or two at work.

 

[peter_n]

Collectors, Remy. It's the only explanation.

The 50/2 Hexanon is better. I got to try it when a friend had a 50/2.4, and while it was cute, it was otherwise not that appealing.
