Konica M Hexanon 35mm f2. Help on Price

[lewis44]

I'm in the process of buying a Konica M-Hexanon 35mm f2 Lens from another RFF Member. There have been so few for sale lately that neither one of us has a clear idea of what it should sell for.

The lens is close to Mint, with hood, pouch, caps and box.

Any imput on what would be a fair price for both of us would be appreciated.

If you have purchased one lately, What did you pay for it?

Thanks in Advance for your help

in Austria and our neighbour Germany these lenses trade normally for 350 - 450 Euro in private sales

I'd say - $700-750 for M-hex 35/2. UC Hex 35/2 is a lot more.

I sold mine for 500 euros, it's optically an amazing lens, very similar to Leica's pre-ASPH of the 80's, this one's just a bit too long.

I bought mine for 650 USD today. The lens is reported to be in EXC+ condition. It came with a box, no hood. I assume that everything up to 750 would be fair.

Thanks all. The Seller and I settled on $700.00. You were a big help to both of us.

Congratulations on an excellent purchase! You will not regret it! 🙂

To think I bought mine for $575 in 2004... From Kevin Mendenhall, actually. The lens is no longer as mint as it was when I received it. I love it and use it a lot. You will too!

Congrats on a lens - please post some pics from it!

Will do. It's coming over the pond, so it will probably be a week or two before I have it.

So? Did you get your new toy yet? 😉 Cant wait to see some pics from it!

 

[lewis44]

Not yet. It's coming from Jolly Old England and is probably stuck in customs. I'll be sure to post some when I get it.

I also picked up a M-Hexanon 28mm from the same RFF Member.
I've now got a complete set. 28-35-50 & 90.
I still have my 50mm ZI C-Sonnar for it's beautiful look, but all the rest are M-Hexanons.

I'm going to do a set with all of the Hexanons on the M8 when I take a trip down the California coast in mid September

so is it a UC?? I paid about $800 for mine new.

Oopps....guess it's an M hex. I've got the 50 and 90.
