Overview

The Konica M-Hexanon 50mm f/2 lens, designed for the Konica Hexar RF and compatible with Leica M-mount, receives mixed reviews. Its build and handling are praised for smooth focusing and ergonomic design. However, optical performance is criticized for softness at wide apertures, with kenrockwell.com noting that images wide open are soft and the lens is best used stopped down. It may suit photographers who prioritize handling and are willing to stop down for sharpness, but it is not recommended for critical work wide open.
