    Overview

    The Konica M-Hexanon 21-35mm f/3.4-4.0 is a varifocal lens for Leica M mount, praised for its elegant design and solid build with smooth focusing. Optically, it performs well at typical shooting distances and apertures, but its variable aperture design (half-stop slower at 35mm) simplifies construction compared to the Tri-Elmar. It suits rangefinder users seeking a wide-angle zoom with good handling and a more affordable alternative to Leica, though it is a niche product within an already niche market.
