Pros: Very nice and very pleasant to use (in manual). Small, thin, light but at the same time "of substance". Great overall optical performance (good sharpness, nice bokeh, great colors). From f 2.8 and up is NITIDISSIMO!!!! The price.... With 50 euros you take home without problems a well-kept specimen.

Cons: At full opening, at least my specimen, trudges a little.... suffers quite from flare, aberrations and sharpness a little latent.... Nothing particularly serious, cmq, remains usable very well even at 1.8....which for a 40mm pancake is still a generous opening.

Opinion: Very small, beautiful, very pleasant to use (manual MAF diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm that you end up using almost just for the sake of it, as much as you like the "click, click, click..."). From f 2.8 is NITIDISSIMO: nothing to envy to much more modern lenses and, above all, much more expensive! Beautiful colors and beautiful bokeh with a blurry still well present and evident even on APS C format. The focal point is in my opinion excellent: it distorts very little, being able to approach for a portrait in person even relatively "tight", and at the same time knows how to give that "breath" to the scene that already a (near) 50mm begins to struggle to return... At full opening it shows its limits. but, I repeat, it does not become unusable!, .. indeed, certain "reflections" can be exploited for "artistic" purposes. I also own the Hexanon 50 1.7 which, without a shadow of a doubt, is sharper at T.A. (MA, beware, NOT ALSO FROM F 2.8 IN UP!), but, on the other, maybe it's more "banal" and discounted as a field angle...

Pros: Dimensions, although with the adapter with the ML you lose some, sharpness, tone

Cons: boh

Opinion: I used it with the FS1, they were born together if I do not remember badly, of which was the natural extension through Nikon to sell everything Konica and Pentax, then for many years, decades, with the acquisition of the Fuji ML I started to suffer from attacks of Nostalgia with little expense I took an FS1 with him. Now I use it on Fuji XT1 with remarkable satisfaction

Pros: Sharpness, contrast, size, design quality, versatile focal length.

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: Paid a ridiculous figure (35 euros in a used shop), this lens has quickly become the most popular on my A7R. Diaphragmed to 5.6 produces sharp images, including (rather rare) extreme angles. The color rendition, to my liking, is spectacular, it is advisable to use a hood to protect the front lens, which is very well protected by the threaded edge. Compact size and good mechanical construction, really versatile focal, close to 35 mm. And as such adapts to a bit of everything. Really a must if you have a full frame!

Pros: All

Cons: nothing, maybe the aperture ring too small but it's a pancake!

Opinion: Mamma mia that in mind, the nex remains as large as the 16-50 considering the adapter being pancakes. Clear already at TA, a crazy knife F4.rnLa focus ring is really good and the right wheel in my opinion, on other vintage lenses need to do 3 laps to go from 40cm to infinity and it is a thing I do not like at all. The yield is wonderful especially shooting in BN, the contrast already in RAW I love it. Right now I'm selling the (75 €) because I have too many lenses from 40 to 60mm (well 6) and would like to invest in other lengths, but I think the regret

Pros: Sharpness, already at full aperture, brightness and below cost

Cons: Particular tone color (slightly warm color in my perception) that can be easily corrected in post-production, if disturbed.

Opinion: I know by the time the objectives of the Konica Hexanon and their excellent quality on the machines reflex eighties. With the appropriate adapters now you can use them with satisfaction on digital ML and with good results. I recently purchased the 40-1.8 and mounted on Sony a7: was very convincing in the surrender of the shots. The sharpness of the images, already at full aperture, its extremely small size and low cost makes this lens really advisable. rn
