sorry, konica is on the left and minolta is on the right.

minolta scale is distance (feet/m) and aperture is further up towards the glass.

also filter size for minolta is 40.5 while konica is 46.

the hex is small; the minolta is tiny.

oh and they both have red dots😉

...but no where near as tiny as the tele-elmarit. I compared the Hex 90 to Randy's tele-e the other night. Big difference. 😱

really?
i've never seen this tiny leica.

this one is small enough for me though.

 

[vrgard]

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to check when I get home since I have them both. My recollection is that the Minolta 90/4 is about the same size as the thin Tele-Elmarit. That is, they are BOTH tiny 90's.

according to the lens info in the box the 90/4 is 51x60mm and weighs in at 250g.

that's 2 x 2 and 3/8 in and weighs 8 and 13/16 oz.

anyone know the hex and tele elmarit info?

My Tele-Elmarit is 2 5/16 inches long (excluding the mount) and just under 2 inches at its widest point. According to my kitchen scale, it weighs 340g.

Hex tech data sheet that came with my lens says: 55mm max. dia., 69mm from front of lens to the reference plane of mount (probably a little longer), 330g

EDIT: I just measured the "true" length: 3 1/16" including mount; 2 7/8" excluding mount

hex data edited above

 

[back alley]

so, the minolta is the lightest.
length is a toss up with the tele e?

 

[vrgard]

Hmmm, well, I just compared the Minolta to the Thin TE and they appear to be the same size sitting next to each other although they have a subtly different base (area closest to the M mount). Holding them, they feel like they weigh about the same (I kept trading them back and forth between my hands and couldn't tell any difference that way). Looking straight into them, the outer lens on the TE looks wider than the Minolta (it is f2.8 versus the f4) but the lens barrel doesn't look to be wider looking at it from the side. So, in an very unscientific analysis, they look to be about the same to me.

that's pretty good for the tele e to be the same size but have a 2.8 opening.

all in all i'm happy to have the hex and the minolta.
