- The subject lens is aimed at a more professional grade work. I brought this lens to the Philippines with a mission, to get specific shots, long exposures, portraits, and sunsets. Looking at my example photos, you notice the bokeh isn't great (my other f/1.8, or f/1.4 stand out), for head and shoulders photos you get the most from a f/1.2 but handle with care to the focusing plane.
A golden color lens, ready to shoot "hot" sunsets, the bad weather ruined all, photos at the beach carry a green tone due to the blueish sky.
It's sharp, delivers good color rendering, strong against lens flare, and is bulky.
Only for working and not for pleasure.
主體鏡頭針對的是更專業級的作品。我帶著這個鏡頭來到菲律賓,目的是拍攝特定照、長時間曝光、肖像和日落。看看我的示例照片,您會發現散景效果不太好(我的其他f/1.8 或f/1.4 還突出),對於肖像照,您可以從f/1.2 獲得最佳的效果,但要小心處理聚焦平面。
金色的鏡頭,準備拍攝“炎熱”的日落,惡劣的天氣毀了一切,海灘上的照片因天空的藍色而帶有綠色的色調。
它很銳利,具有良好的演色性,抗鏡頭眩光能力強,(鏡頭)體積龐大。
只為工作,不為娛樂。
A objectiva do assunto destina a ser usada em trabalho de nível mais profissional. Trouxe essa lente para as Filipinas com a missão de obter fotos específicas, longas exposições, retratos e por do sol. Olhando minhas fotos de exemplo, você percebe que o bokeh não é ótimo (meus outros f/1.8 ou f/1.4 se destacam), para fotos de cabeça e ombros você aproveita ao máximo dum f/1.2, mas manuseie com cuidado o plano de foco .
Uma lente de cor dourada, pronta para fotografar pores do sol “quentes”, o mau tempo fez o contributo para a desgraça, as fotos na praia carregam um tom esverdeado devido ao céu azulado.
É nítido, oferece boa reprodução de cores, forte contra reflexos de lente e é volumosa.
Apenas para trabalhar e não por prazer.
3:21.Brilliant photo. wonderful water themed photos!
Thank you.
The 57mm 1.2 came up on a Facebook group. Then I saw what people were paying for it. So, back to reality at 1.4. Hope you figured out a way to get the moisture out of your lens.
Thanks for your comment. It was easy to remove that moisture, keeping it inside the dry cabinet. Here in Asia, a dry cabinet is a must. This lens, I bought by luck.
This lens was first produced in 1967 at the earliest. The literature accompanying the Autorex (Auto-Reflex) and Autorex P (Auto-Reflex P), bodies introduced in 1965 and 1966, makes no mention of the 57mm f1.2. It is first mentioned with the introduction of the Autoreflex T in 1968.
Thanks for your comment.
There's actually non-thoriated version of 57 1.2. It's kinda rare, late production of green EE marked ones, its having slightly different tint without thorium golden-yellow reflection on it. And yeah, you can try to put T3, TC, T4, or green EE-marked Hexanons under blacklight for some fancy luminescent show. Cheers.
Thanks for your comment.
Thats the one I have and its mint
thanks for the vid. i have a copy of the last variant of this version. however, i was under the impression there are 2 other lenses much more expensive than this in the hexanon lineup. they would be the 28mm f1.8 and the 21mm f2.8. however, i cannot confirm if they are standard hexanon lenses with the KR mount or if they are LTM lenses.
Hello, and thanks for your comment. You refer to the Konica UC Hexanon 28mm f/1.8 and Konica Hexanon AR 21mm f/2.8. The Hexanon 28mm is really expensive, just next to the Nikon’s famous 28mm F1.4D. The predecessor Hexanon AR 21mm f/4 it's really a bargain for those who are interested. Both of them are KR mount and produced btw 1978 to 1979. I should say, the most expensive lens in the entire Konica range lenses, paying in attention to the year it was produced. Thank you for correcting me.
