    Overview

    The Konica Hexanon AR 100mm f/2.8 is a compact, well-built portrait prime with all-metal construction and smooth handling. Optically, it delivers very sharp images even at f/2.8, trending razor-sharp after f/4, with buttery smooth bokeh and excellent neutral colors. It compares favorably to the Contax Zeiss Sonnar 100/3.5 and Topcon RE Auto Topcor 100/2.8, though slightly less sharp than the Topcor. The lens is undervalued and suits photographers seeking a high-performing, affordable 100mm for portraiture or adapted mirrorless use.
