Konica Fast Lenses: M-Hexanon 50mm f1.2 and 60mm f1.2

Yanidel, did you get a similar coulour rendering with this lense on a M8? I would say a specific post treatment instead is used. Is it?

As with previous shots I have seen, your post processing technique is very nice and perfect for your subject matter! Excellent job.
 
...fixed after, but I am lazy and somehow this seems better.
Also shows the difficulty of focussing this lens accurately on a screw-mount in low-light.
 
One more from that roll. Snapped quickly at the Danjiri matsuri in a heavy crowd. Unfortunate expression, but better focus.

My impression of the 60 is that foliage with dappled light is the only situation that overcomes its smoothness.

The 60mm lens is very sharp with smooth bokeh. The size and weight are perfect for me. I finally let go the noctilux and stick with the hexanon.
will post some pictures next week.
 
I was using a Konica 57/1.2 AR on a Panny G2 over the weekend with an adapter.

I just love these fast designs. I assume that the SLR version of this lens is more or less the same as the M-mount or LTM 60's.

Edit: True this is not one of the lenses in the OP, but I have given up on being able to find the 60/1.2. Them's that got 'em, ain't selling. The 57/1.2 in AR mount can still be found though, and produces really nice results. Higher contrast than the Canon 50/1.2 lenses than I have seen, without a lot of fall off on m-4/3.

Kristian,

i love that second shot especially!

so, if you could only have one lens, which do you like best -- 50 Summilux pre-asph (v.3), 50 Summilux Asph, or the Hex?

(keeping in mind i'm looking for Black Paint on the Luxes as i prefer focusing with the knurled edges -- so none of these are cheap... i want to supplement my E58 Nocti for night shots, but also have something that focuses closer and is a bit lighter for day shots that can also be used in dark basement bars.)

i look forward to your opinion as you've already got me looking very close at the CV Nokton...

thank you!
