Another Lens covid-19: day 290 | US: GA | info | act
I just can’t help myself. This is the final lens for a while (unless I see a really good deal). I ordered a Konica Hexanon AR 1.8/40 pancake lens. I watched a fairly lengthy presentation about using vintage lenses, and the photographer recommended 1960s-era Konica Hexanon as a series of lenses that are excellent and inexpensive. (He went on about Zuiko lenses, too, and showed some pretty stunning landscapes he captured with those. This guy also likes Zuiko, so I may have to pick one up at some point, though the 1.4/50 I tried was terrible. Maybe I just got a bum copy.) These lenses are not M42-mount, so I have to get another adapter. Fortunately, I found an AR-LM adapter, so I can use my LM-L close-focus adapter with it.
That said, I still need a 28mm of some sort. There is a Hexanon f/3.5 flavor and a Zuiko f/2.8. Either would probably do. Later, I mean.
