Konica's AR telephoto — the 135mm f/3.2 Hexanon for portraits and short reach.
The Konica Hexanon AR 135mm f/3.2 was a telephoto prime for the Konica AR bayonet used on the Autoreflex SLRs. The 135mm length has long been a staple portrait and short-sports tele, and this Hexanon filled that role in the AR line with an unusual f/3.2 maximum aperture.
This is a manual-focus Konica AR lens with a 135mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/3.2. It is a telephoto prime giving a narrow, compressed field of view. Element count, filter thread and minimum focus distance are not verified here and are omitted rather than invented to keep the entry accurate.
A 135mm delivers the flattened perspective and tight framing that suit portraits, candid work and modest sports or stage reach, isolating a subject cleanly from its surroundings. Its longer focal length compresses distance, which flatters faces and simplifies backgrounds into smooth tones.
The 135mm Hexanon is a common and affordable telephoto in the AR range. Check the elements for haze, fungus and coating marks, confirm the aperture blades move without oil, and feel the focus ring for smoothness through the long throw. It adapts easily to mirrorless via an AR adapter for manual tele work.
