M-Hexanon 28/2.8 on streets of Bucharest

[Krosya]

During my recent trip I spent a few days in Bucharest, Romania. Beautiful city with lots of things to see. I have been there before and it seems that Bucharest is changing all the time. I recorded some of it with Hexar RF and M-Hexanon 28/2.8 and here are some of the pics (sorry these are scans from a flatbed, so they dont have all the detail that this lens delivers):

Nice, nice.

I've literally just an hour ago received this lens (along with Hexar RF + 2.0/50 Hexanon + 2.8/90 Hexanon + Zeiss 2/35 Biogon - whohohoa baby, I lost my freakin GAS mind!!).
After I finnish this cup of espresso I'm going out to shoot my new kit.
Thanks for sharing those, I will post some 28 Hexanon results as well later from my first roll.

I have all the same hexanons plus 50/1.2 and 35/2 as well and I like them all. I think you will enjoy your new kit - post pics too!

Oh yeah 🙂 The great thing is that the kit is mint, it's one of the very few "brand new" cameras I have, pleasure to hold. I was actually hunting for my second M-mount body, wanted an M6 or the Ikon, but somehow got derailed by nice price and ended up with this huge kit all at once! Overwhelming!
Hexanons feel like such a great quality! Very solid and nicely made. I have high expectations from 2/50 Hexanon (and that 2/35 Biogon).

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but any advice on what the 90mm is good for? Don't usually shoot that long (apart from a few frames with Sonnar on Contax) so no clue... Portraits any good? Or just general use "sneaky" streetshots?

Hex 90 is great for portraits, but I use it for everything - street, close-up, etc - you can look at some other threads in Konica section here - there are many examples from all those lenses.

Nice pictures that make me want to be in Bucharest again.

I'd more there tomorrow if anywhere would hire a monolingual Canadian with no work visa.

Superb,Krosya.
Flatbed or not, the 28 is about as good as you cal get!

It focuses close enough that if you take it out for a day as a main lens and force yourself to use it, you'll have a mix of near and far.

Back to the Bucharest streets - now I got some slides back. While in some cases Hex 28/2.8 lens was a bit slow combined with slow slide film, otherwise it did very well.:

I like the slides Krosya!

Makes me fel I should have brought the 28mm Hexanon with me to England, but I promised I'd shoot my W-Komura 28mm f3.5 while over here, so the M-Hex stayed at home.

Phantomas, congrats on the new kit! I brought the M-Hex 50mm with me and will make sure it sees some action here. Might take a while to upload here, though, since I'll be in the UK for a full week and am trailing behind on developing film at home... Very interested to see your shots though!

Your color pix do far more justice to my eye.

Krosya, really nice work.

 

[Krosya]

Thank you!.

Back to Bucharest pics - I found that in Bucharest there are churches nearly on every block. Even in modern parts of town, but even more so in the center. Here are some that I saw:
