Leica M Monochrom & Konica Hexanon 60/1.2

[janrzm]

Hi guy's

I've been pushing myself out of my comfort zone of late, trying to scratch an itch thats been around for a while now and tentatively shooting some models.......It's very early days for me!!

I thought I would share a few images taken on the M Monochrom with the Konica Hexanon 60/1.2 there aren't loads of examples out there of this combination. I've not shot the lens anywhere near enough yet to form any strong opinions.

You can see the rest of the images here - http://aperturepriority.co.nz/2013/05/03/gaining-in-confidence-part-two/

Cheers, Jason.

I wonder how the Konica 60/1.2 on a M9 or Monochrome compares with

Konica's fast SLR lens, the Konica 58/1.2 focused with the EVF on a M10.

are two mm really worth all those thousands of dollars of price difference ??

Great advertisement for both camera and lens. The Konica lens are really great, I have 5KM and LTM's but alas not the 60. I really enjoy your work. Cheers, Alan

I wonder how much better that Konica 58/1.2 and the M10 actually are when you compare them to a Ricoh GXR with a Voigtländer 35/1.2 mounted? Or, how much less expensive?

😀


Great shots Jason, I for one would like to have that Hexanon and mount it on my Barnack😱😱

Firstly, small clarification. There is no 58mm and no M10. They're actually the 57mm and M240 😉

I would say having used them all, the M and 57mm would be better, but don't couple to the rangefinder so the experience is different. Also the 57mm does not compare to the much better performing 60mm M lens which is possibly just as good as the recent APO 50, because the 60 beats the 50 Lux ASPH, which was also designed after the 50 APO, but released later.

I particularly appreciate how well it works with the 50mm frame lines of the M9, better I feel than an actual 50mm lens.

How? Are your framelines inaccurate?
