Legendary 57mm f/1.4 Hexanon standard lens for Konica AR with sought-after rendering.

The Konica Hexanon AR EE 57mm f/1.4 is the flagship standard lens for the Konica AR system, offering a slightly longer-than-normal focal length with a fast f/1.4 aperture. The unusual 57mm focal length distinguishes it from the typical 50mm standard, providing a subtly tighter framing that many photographers find flattering for portraits.

Hexanon optics are legendary among vintage lens connoisseurs, and this 57mm is no exception. Wide open at f/1.4 it produces beautiful bokeh with a gentle transition between sharp and out-of-focus areas. Stopped down to f/2.8 and beyond, sharpness is excellent across the frame with rich contrast and accurate colour.

The EE designation enables automatic exposure coupling with compatible Konica bodies. Build quality is superb with the precision engineering and smooth mechanics that define the Hexanon range. The all-metal construction gives the lens a satisfying heft and durability that has kept examples functioning for over fifty years.

One of the most sought-after vintage standard lenses, the Hexanon 57mm f/1.4 has gained a strong following among mirrorless camera users who adapt it for its distinctive rendering. On the used market, prices have risen as word of its optical excellence has spread, but it remains excellent value compared to modern equivalents.
