Today, I’ve set up a Konica Hexanon 55 1.4, Konica Hexanon 50 1.7, Konica Hexanon 40 1.8 lens sharpness test. Several weeks ago I had about 10 frames to kill so i decided to do some test frames on the Hexanons for your viewing pleasure.
* These test frames may be subjected to human error, especially focus!*
*DO NOT use the images for examples of light fall off! *
Materials used:
- Konica Autoreflex T on tripod and cable release.
- Kodak Tri X in XTOL 1+2 Rotary
- Epson 4490, 2400dpi, Auto Exposure -1, Sharpen Low
- No additional processing
Konica 55 1.4 @ f1.4 1/250
Konica 55 1.4 @ f2 1/125
Konica 40 1.8 @ 1.8 1/125
Konica 50 1.7 @ f1.7 1/125 MISFOCUSED
I should have omitted the photo above because of the obvious focusing issue.
Konica 50 1.7 @ f5.6 1/15
Straight, No Chaser. 
A useful test for me. I have a Fuji x-e1 and like to use legacy glass on it. Konica 55/1.4 is on my list.
I am glad you find the post useful. As a matter of fact konica glass are very very sharp.
