About this product

Product Information

People who are looking for an affordable wide-angle lens that has a small profile and weighs in at 6-7 oz (depending on the variation) might find a perfect fit with the Konica Minolta Hexar AR. Made with a popular focal length, this 28 mm f/3.5 lens was redesigned several times, and the stats varied slightly for each. This Konica Minolta camera lens is a fixed/prime manual focus lens designed to fit the AR mount — available on many older Konica film-style cameras that use an SLR camera lens. The 28 mm focal length has remained useful since its release and is a good choice for those who are just learning about and practicing with film photography — especially travel photography. The smallest aperture in the 5-element construction is 16. All variations of the Konica Minolta Hexar AR deliver sharp focused images with good contrast and little distortion. Additionally the lens element is large and prominent, so the use of a lens hood to restrict light interference can decrease problems with contrast. The Konica Minolta Hexar AR is well constructed and quiet to use. The iris blades move freely, focusing is smooth, and the control-ring for the aperture rotates smoothly and adjusts accurately, just as they do in almost every Konica Minolta camera lens ever made. Overall, this might be a good choice for photographers who want to experiment with film and a 28 mm f/3.5 lens without investing a lot in equipment to do so.

  • The Hexanon 28mm f/3.5 - '2' versions

    It's slow, however so is the Nikkor 28 3.5 and a far, far better choice that is impossible to ghost or have glares, sharper and far more detailed. Most importantly the sample variations are better. There are some futile attempts online to bolster-rate and glorify the Konica Hexanon 28 3.5 as the sharpest landscape 28 lens and stating it is superior to a Distagon. Manual Focus Lenses MFlenses has become a depository of garbage hype by greedy sellers using it inflate values and create false values It is average, run-of-the-mill very ordinary plain middle of the pack 28mm and the value people place on them reflects this best A first 7-7 optical versions changed to a 5-5 optical formula that still failed to get F2.8? The Konica team put it's effort into Rangefinders then spent it's lifetime trying to catch back up in the industry by making bold and drastic moves that were all "business" related and not R&D progressive product growth to advance their positions. They were satisfied being and went broke, only the Copying part saved them from liquidation. Fotomart !
