Konica hexanon 60mm 1.2 L

[kloudags]

Hi

I'd like to see more samples of pictures taken with the Konica hex 60mm 1.2, if possible in conjunction with the M9.
Also to get some feedback on what would be its limitations in terms of usage.
Thanks!

I suspect that the limitations are already posted - namely the framing.

Yes, I saw his great work, and got in touch with him on the subject 😉
I was just wondering if there were others out there actually using that lens, instead of collecting it, and leaving it on a shelve...

Sure. I think everyone's limiting factor is time and opportunity. However, I tend to use it when there is something that lends itself to it's abilities. - Otherwise, I'll go with a smaller lens.

OMG... I finally got it!! Just received this beautiful lens, looks brand new, and so gorgeous...
Can't wait to try on my M9!!

Hi all,
Just a heads-up, there is a 60 f1.2 original (!!!) in Japan on auction ending in a few days.

It needs overhaul but I guess it might not go for an amount that you can buy a nice house with 🙂

A few glass bubbles which never hurt anything. Otherwise looks a dandy!
Hope one of our crew gets it. Would love to see a collection of images developed with this original version lens! 😀

Kristian Dowling (leicashot) did this workup a while back, including the original 60/1.2:
