Konica 50/2.4 LTM?

[Little-Stjarna]

this lens is on my camera for a six months - it is sharp and has wery nice bokeh, maybe better than 50/2 version. I dont like two things - flare in backlight and built quality. it think not-collapsible version is preferable. And the shade of chrome color does not match my leica m3 🙂))

Matsuiya store just got one for me and I bought I through eBay.

There is one on sale right now here.

That's pretty expensive, even the one Gary just bought.
I would rather buy the new CV limited.

The lens hood with the Matsuiyastore sale is the proper lens hood for an L-Hexanon 35mm f2.0 (the Hexar AF lens screw mount edition).

I bought the 35mm from them some time ago, and they told me they had no lens hood with it. Now, it turns op with a 50mm lens, that's just great :bang:

Wow - that one is nearly double of what it should be!

While I agree that its more expensive than it should be - I wouldnt go for a CV limited. I used to have their limited set in black - R2M with 50/2 Heliar. While Heliar is very very well made - it's glass just doesnt come close to Hexanon - thats why I sold it. So, I'd rather just wait till a better priced Hex came along.

There also one here from one of our members here, but in another forum. Much cheaper, around $520 for a Mint copy.

Even though, as earlier stated, I decided to stick with my modern Elmar, this lens is very attractive. I just can't see any reason to pay over $400 for one though.

It would be nice to see more pics though...

Actually, the member cited above has it listed for 860. I figured 700 was around msrp retail-- supply and demand, I suppose.

It is in SGD dollars. So you divide by 1.4.

Thanks for the correction. I got mine today. Fits nicely on my iiif with no play and good build quality. Now, to shoot some provia and wait for my M8 to come back from repairs for some pixel peeking.

 

[Little-Stjarna]

will wait for samples from m8 🙂

Camera West (http://camerawest.com) has a 50mm f/2.4 collapsible for $695, boxed. (search hexanon, and it should bring up the listing.)

What is the build quality of this lens? I am contemplating of buying one....As for pictures shot with this lens, they are even scarcer :-(

 

[Little-Stjarna]

build quality is good enough, but tube can get loose after some time. It is all possible shortcommings 🙂
My shots from this lens you can see here http://www.flickr.com/photos/soundgearxtreme/tags/konicahexanon50mmf24ltm/
