Who got the 28's?

Matsuyamastore (sp?) was selling new 28mm, 50mm, and 90mm Hexanon-Ms on eBay a short while back. Don't know if he has any more. I bough them and really like them on my M bodies and R-D1.

I looked late last week. The two 28mm lenses are gone. The 50 & 90 were still there.

I meant that the focus was exactly the same in the RF patch.

The difference that some say exists is in the lens flange to film plane distance. Your rangefinder should focus the same for both lenses. The negatives will tell the tale.

I got a 28mm. Real nice on my R-D1!

I think Gid put it very well. I have owned both the 50/2 M-Hexanon and the 50/2 Summicron (latest), and at about half the cost, the Hex is a real winner. I no longer own either (still looking for something faster), but if I had to choose one, I'd take the Hexanon (and I may do it yet again).

The 28 & 90 M-Hexanon lenses are available at www.photostop.net. The 50 is only available there with purchase of the kit.

Does anyone know where the 35mm Hexanon-M can be purchased?

My understanding is that one is an extremely rare and hard to find beast.
Apparently a great lens though.

I have owned the Hexanon 35 for a while... and found it the best value in the market. Then, you could say the same about any Konica lens with an M mount.

I looked and looked for a m-hex 35, found one on German ebay, went for more than I had, and another showed up here for sale, was sold before it was really offered.
So I find the best way to get a konica hexanon 35 is to buy it with the shutter built in and body attached as the Hexar AF.

I'll shamelessly plug this one then... http://www.photo.net/gc/view-one?classified_ad_id=671733

That is an excellent price for a great lens. Somebody jump on this.

 

[dcsang]

if I didn't own one already, I certainly would be all over it at that price - I believe I paid $100 USD more for mine !!
