Konica's everyday AR wide — the compact 35mm f/2.8 Hexanon for street and travel.
The Konica Hexanon AR 35mm f/2.8 was a moderate wide-angle prime for the Konica AR bayonet used across the Autoreflex SLRs. The 35mm focal length has long been a documentary and everyday standard, and this Hexanon filled that slot in Konica's AR line as a compact, affordable wide.
This is a manual-focus Konica AR lens with a 35mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8. It is a rectilinear wide-angle suited to general shooting. Optical construction, filter thread and minimum focus distance are not verified here and are omitted rather than invented to keep the record accurate.
A 35mm f/2.8 gives a natural, slightly wide view that maps well to how the eye takes in a scene, which is why it endures for street, travel and documentary work. It handles environmental context without noticeable distortion and stops down to crisp corner-to-corner rendering for landscapes.
The 35mm f/2.8 Hexanon is common and one of the more affordable ways into the AR system. Check the glass for haze, fungus and cleaning marks, confirm the aperture blades are dry, and feel the focus ring for even action. It is a good, inexpensive candidate for manual shooting on mirrorless via an AR adapter.
