Description from the seller

Excellent condition – renowned optic – vintage, characterful rendering

I’m selling a Konica Hexanon AR 28mm f/2.8, adapted to Leica M mount, an optic known for its sharpness, balanced contrast and very organic rendering, particularly appreciated in street photography and reportage.

- Features

Focal length: 28 mm

Maximum aperture: f/2.8

Mount: Leica M (via quality adaptation)

Manual focusing

All-metal construction, typical of Konica’s golden era

Smooth diaphragm, precise focus ring

-Condition

Optics: glass clean, no scratches, no fungus, no haze

Mechanical: perfectly functional

Cosmetics: excellent overall condition

-Rendering & appeal

The Hexanon 28mm f/2.8 is often compared with much more expensive lenses. It offers:

- excellent sharpness from f/4
- subtle micro-contrast
- natural color rendering, very “analog/film-like”
- well-controlled distortion for a vintage 28mm

Ideal on Leica M, but also on digital bodies via a rangefinder or mirrorless with an adapter.
