Thank you for the vid. I really do appreciate the comparison to other lenses. I never knew Konica even made lenses with an aperture preset. They are not so common in the USA as far as I can tell.
Hello. A very interesting question, and it woke me up. Konica lenses with "F" mount were produced to be used with the camera "Konica F", I went to try the Konica F adaptor to my Nikkor-S. Surprisingly it fits but, it is loose and wobbles, can't lock it securely plus, the depth of the two rings is different, and the AI is deeper than the "F". Thanks for your comment.
I have one of the A type preset f22 versions in AR mount, and it would appear to be exactly the same as your lens. It produces some very impressive images.
The f 22 version was the latest type of the Hexanon 35mm f2.8, it is a modern 5/5 lens design. Minolta and Nikon did it too and changed to the 5/5 lens design in the late 70's or in the 80's. All other and earlier types of the Hexanon 35mm f2.8 had the f16 as smallest aperture and a 6/5 lens design.
Fantastic information. Great images. Thank you.
Thank you.
Super-Takumar appears to have more bokeh for the same f stop! Impressive!
Bingo🤗

Thank you.
Hello, when you talk about the f-mount, is it the same of Nikon company? If is, can we fit this lens on a Nikon camera? Thanks.
