Konica LTM Konica 50/2.4 LTM?

Konica M39 lenses
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 :)))

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:

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

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.
 
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.
 
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.

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 :-(
 
I'm looking for the Hex 50/2.4 too. If anyone knows one for sale please let me know.
