Showcase Konica 40 mm / F1.8 Hexanon AR

Welcome, vibranze!

Beautiful pics... thanks for sharing.

Hexanons are very impressive. Is this the pancake lens you're using?

 

Sweet shots, the 40 is probably the next one I'll be getting  

 

Hi and welcome Vibranze

Very nice shots, you've got yourself quite a good lens and the results speaks for itself.

 

I notice that all the shots have a dark vignetting around the edges. Is the lens doing this, or did you deliberately add this (lens filter, hood, or digital editing)?

 

I like it  

I notice things like this immediately because I used to add this effect via a lens filter. I was just curious whether yours happened by accident or was done in purpose. Nicely done!

 

welcome mate, I had seen your great photos on dpr, then enjoy this group and have a very good lens.

 

Don't have the NEX yet, but have used the hexanons on Olympus 4/3, as well as the m4/3, and panasonic. They always do really well, if I do my part. I still have a 52mm, that I use on my E-p2.

 

Here are a couple with the 40/1.8 and the NEX C3

For whatever reason the Hexanons and the NEX are a really good match for one another.

 

Finally got my hands on a pristine copy from KEH. Compact, light, and stunning image quality. Shot on my NEX-F3.

I love my 40/1.8 so far.
