Ancient Optics Konica Hexanon 57mm f/1.2

(INSERT SINGLE HERO IMAGE HERE - other images below in media section)

Summary

In 1873, Rokuemon Sugiura, was the first Japanese business man to start selling photographic materials in his shop in Tokyo. In 1902, he would make Japan’s first camera…”The Cherry Portable Camera”. In 1931, his son would design and sell the first “Made in Japan” camera lens. Although it had many names over the years, the company behind these incredible accomplishments and countless others would later be known simply as Konica. Konica produced some of the greatest optics in history…The Hexanons. The 57mm f1.2 has been highly regarded among photographers for decades. The 40mm by f1.8 is one of our personal favorite lenses, because of its gorgeous bokeh and bold flares. The ultra special 28mm f1.8 is the fastest 28mm of its time and boasts an impressive CF of just under 7 inches. Every focal length in the set is a top performer, making this truly a “no compromise” set of vintage cinema lenses.
