Konica Hexanon 60mm f/1.2 photos

[prosophos]

If anybody is interested in viewing photos taken with this lens (on an M9), I use this combination regularly:

Peter,

those are brilliant.

If I truly thought that only the lens was what made the picture, I'd sell off all my gear to get one. (Not to say I might not do so in the future, there's something about the 60/1.2 that I really love)

Pretty sure though that just the lens still wouldn't get me pictures like yours, you have a great eye!

Anyone have any of the 50mm 1.2 examples? These look nice, but 60mm is so weird of a focal length for a RF.

The 60mm FL is different, it's neither 50 or 75 mm, which may be why it appeals to me. I almost only use my Hex 60/1.2 with my CV Nokton 35/1.2, the extra little bit of magnification (FL), for me, is an ideal look when paired with my most favorite FL, 35mm.)

What a great 1-2 lens combination. I've been using this too, but often substitute the 35 Summarit for the 35 Nokton when I want to travel light or shoot under bright conditions.

Those, photos by the way, especially the B&W film - superb.

Peter.

Really enjoyed looking at your pics - fantastic shots. Stupid question, but does the 60 bring up 50 frame lines? I assume you just get away with framing as per a 50?

There was a thread or two on this in Konica section of the forum. You can find some pics from 50/1.2 on my flickr as well. However they are not from M9 - either film or RD1s. Here are some : http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77227

To OP - great photos - I always wanted to find Hex 60, but these are so rare and expensive.....maybe some day.

Off-Topic.. but since requested.

I think that this was the first photo taken. I had to send lens to Don with my M3 in order eliminate the backfocusing. I purchased the lens expecting it to need adjustment.

Beautiful image! And with film, congratulations!

For anyone looking for a 60/1.2

I think the poster superEBC is fleabay's Bregetcamera. He appears to give notice on this website to future listings for the locals. Even gives a scary price.

Wow...that's expensive. But I must say, the results look wonderful

The results from this lens are wonderful (by the way Gerald, I answered your private message).

I recently acquired an f/1 Noctilux, and the price of this Hexanon, even by today's standards is a bargain, relatively speaking of course!
