Hanimex's standard prime for Konica AR — the 35mm f/2.8 with AE coupling for metering.
The Hanimex 35mm f/2.8 AE Coupled is a wide-normal prime from Hanimex for Konica AR-mount cameras with AE (automatic exposure) coupling. The AE coupling designation indicates the aperture ring is linked to the camera's automatic exposure system for aperture-priority or program operation.
The lens delivers 35mm at f/2.8 maximum aperture with Konica AR bayonet and AE coupling, manual focus, aperture ring with AE indexing, and full-frame 35mm coverage. The 35mm focal length provides a natural wide-normal field of view.
The AE coupling makes this lens function with Konica's automatic exposure modes on compatible AR bodies, allowing aperture-priority shooting. The Konica AR mount's adaptability extends the lens's usefulness to modern mirrorless systems.
Verify AE coupling mechanism operates correctly on a Konica AR body. Test aperture ring and focus ring. Inspect elements. Confirm Konica AR adapter availability for target mount if modern adaptation is intended.
