Description from the seller

Excellent condition – reputed lens – vintage character rendering

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

- Characteristics

Focal length: 28 mm

Maximum aperture: f/2.8

Mount: Leica M (via high-quality adaptation)

Manual focus

All-metal construction, typical of the great Konica era

Smooth diaphragm, precise focus ring

- Condition

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

Mechanical: perfectly functional

Cosmetics: excellent overall condition

- Rendering & appeal

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

excellent sharpness from f/4

subtle micro-contrast

natural color rendition, very analog

distortion well controlled for a vintage 28mm

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