Hexanon 50m 2.4 LTM.......

[BigSteveG]

is a chrome collapsible thingy I've seen recently. Anybody have one or able to post images produced w/ one? I'm very curious about this lens. Is it less known than the 35mm UC LTM.

Another limited production Konica lens. I have only seen pictures of it on a Japanese collector's web site that is no longer available. If you live in Japan you may be able to buy one but I don't think they are available here in the US.

Thanks Peter. I've seen one for sale. But w/ no images or reviews available, I wouldn't buy one.

Erwin Puts says some nice things about it here:

("nice" by his standards, given that it isn't a Leica lens)

Lovely, that is. And it comes with a porch!

A porch? I'd have nowhere to put it, and the shipping costs 😱

I know how you feel mate. I've covetted this lens for a while now along with the 60 1.2 LTM. I've somehow convinced myself that life won't be complete until I own them. Maybe the next big contract I win that's paying cash???

I hear ya - these 2 lenses are so cool and unique and from very few photos I have seen taken with them look very much like a "must have" . Just need to find funds for them.... Trying not to disturb that peace I have made with my VISA.......:bang:

Jeff Smith is a good photog.....I can't help but think he's loaded.....seems like every shot in his site is taken w/ a different high-end lens!!!

Jeff Smith may own more 50mm lenses than FrankS, if you can imagine such a thing. 😀
