Konica Hexanon AR 50mm F1.7 Test

Hu

Let’s see what this Hexanon 50mm f1.7 is made of. Sorry about the boring photos, a little burned out here.

Lens: Hexanon AR 50mm 1.7
Camera: Konica Autoreflex TC
Film: Kodak 400HD C-41 Expired developed by Walgreens.
Negatives, self scans.

Firing the Konica Autoreflex TC is pretty much like chopping carrots. You will feel the thud.
This is 1/30 f1.7, with slight motion blur cause by the camera.
By the way, Ryan saved me this special cookie. Yes I did eat it balls and all.

1/30 f1.7 , why do I even bother with C-41 anymore.

Once again 1/30 f1.7

1/250 f5.6

Crop from full size 2400dpi scan.

There, you have it. The Len’s great, the camera body I am not too sure of.

  1. man the autoreflex tc is one handsome camera (looks a lot like a nikkormat)
    can’t say the same for it’s operations htough… :\
    feels crude compared to nikons haha

    • The hexanon 1.7 is most definitely sharper than a nikkor equivalent. However I need a better body the shutter on the TC bounces too hard.

      Cheers.
