Description from the seller

Excellent condition – renowned optic – vintage character rendering

I’m selling a Konica Hexanon AR 28mm f/2.8, adapted to Leica M mount, recognized 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 focus
All-metal construction, typical of Konica’s golden era
Smooth diaphragm, precise focusing ring

- Condition

Optics: clean glass, no scratches, no fungus, no haze
Mechanical: perfectly functional
Cosmetic: excellent overall condition

- Rendering & appeal

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

• excellent sharpness from f/4
• subtle micro-contrast
• natural color rendition, very “analog"
• well-controlled distortion for a vintage 28mm

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