Just loving this Konica Hexanon AR 57mm f/1.2

[DNG]

Had a chance for a few family photos....got to visit our eldest and his son also.... we all are now getting over a week or so of all having colds



This can really deliver..... although this lens is on loan from a another photographic friend who lives in the Bahamas.... (I secretly hope I can use it for a few more months...)

Nice camera/lens combination. Astonishing how well this old film lens does on the XE-2.

Very nice! The Hexanons were, for the most part, very good lenses indeed. I sometimes use my Hexanon 28/3.5 on my X-E1, nice walk about lens. I made a small write up on legacy glass on the X-E1 here:

Man, some of those old Hexanons were amazing. My first SLR was a TC with 50/1.7 Hex which I shot for 15 years or so. A very good lens - but not like this!

Very nice images indeed. I have both an X-E2 and the 57/1.2 and am wondering what adapter are you using for the AR to X-mount? Thanks, John

I still use the one my father brought home from Vietnam in 1970, though on an M 240 and no longer on an Autoreflex T.
