Konica Hexar RF + M-Hexanon 50mm f/2.0 Rangefinder camera

"The Konica Hexar RF is widely regarded as one of the most significant late-period rangefinder cameras outside the Leica name. Introduced in 1999, it brought a modern, highly capable interchangeable-lens rangefinder system to photographers who valued the handling and visual discipline of the M-mount tradition, while also appreciating a more contemporary approach to camera design. For many enthusiasts, the Hexar RF remains one of the most interesting and desirable modern classic rangefinders of its era. A major part of its appeal lies in the balance it strikes between tradition and practicality. The camera preserves the essential strengths of the rangefinder experience—direct manual focus, compact proportions, and a clean shooting interface—while offering a distinctly modern character within the category. Paired with the M-Hexanon 50mm f/2, the system becomes especially compelling. This standard lens was developed as a key part of the Hexar RF lineup and is appreciated for its classical double-Gauss character, balanced rendering, and strong all-around usability. Because of its position as a serious modern rangefinder system introduced at the end of the film era, the Konica Hexar RF continues to attract lasting interest among both collectors and active photographers. It is valued not only for its historical importance within late film-camera development, but also for offering a refined and highly usable alternative within the M-mount world. Offered here is a beautiful Konica Hexar RF 35mm rangefinder film camera paired with the M-Hexanon 50mm f/2 lens, a highly desirable modern classic rangefinder set. Serial Number Body: 1447438 Lens: 3212478 The camera and lens remain in beautiful condition overall. Please review the listing photos carefully for the most accurate representation of the cosmetic condition. Finder & Lens Condition The finder and lens are in beautiful condition. There is no noticeable large dust, fog, fungus, scratches, or separation. Functional Condition The camera has been checked and works properly. Included Accessories - Body cap - Front cap - Rear cap Only the items shown in the photos are included in this sale. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly collectible Konica Hexar RF set, admired for its modern rangefinder design, strong system heritage, and enduring appeal among enthusiasts of M-mount cameras."
