Konica Hexanon AR 52mm F1.8 Third Generation Silver Model Konica AR mount. Can be used with a mirrorless camera via a mount adapter. Released in 1962. It was introduced as a standard lens for Konica SLR cameras, supporting automatic aperture. Compared to the Super-Takumar of the same generation, it hasn't gained much popularity, so we'll explore the appeal of this lens along with sample images. The first impression when looking through the viewfinder is "a good student." For this generation, the focus is remarkably sharp from the widest aperture. It's resistant to flare even in backlight, and the ghosts that appear when you deliberately include a light source are subtle, tending towards white to cool colors and not being very noticeable. The color rendition is gentle, but not to the point of being lacking. It gives the impression of being an incredibly well-behaved and somewhat bland lens. It has "stable" and high descriptive performance that rarely fails, making you wonder if this is really from the 60s. You might wonder, "Is it not okay to take good pictures?" However, with current lenses overflowing the market, the reason to seek out old lenses is for their unique character! A strong hidden quirk in the background bokeh: "A hidden bubble bokeh lens" Suspecting that every lens must have its own quirks unique to old lenses, you'll notice a sense of discomfort in the background bokeh. It's not just prone to double-line bokeh; it's also rough and hard. When you include a point light source, a magnificent bubble bokeh that clearly emphasizes the outline overlaps. It's often said that resolution and bokeh quality are incompatible, but in the case of old lenses, you get both resolution and the unique character of bubble bokeh. F1.8 isn't particularly bright for this generation, but the design's margin has been allocated to backlight resistance and resolving power, and it also has high close-up performance, is small and lightweight, and is a high-performance lens that can capture anything. The price is also reasonable, making it highly suitable as a daily-use lens. However, it seems to let loose a little when used wide open at night. Please try it out for yourself.
