Konica M-Hexanon 28mm f/2.8

Read the review before you buy... The description is for a "Konica Minolta M-Hexanon" lens. There is no such thing. Hexanon lenses were made by Konica in the 1980s, for the Konica manual focus camera system. They were discontinued before 1990. In 2004 Konica and Minolta merged, and for a few years Minolta's Auto Foucs Maxxum mount lenses(a completely different and totally incompatible lens mount) were branded "Konica Minolta" before it was sold to Sony and became the Sony Alpha system. Hexanon lenses will not fit on ANY Minolta camera. They work nicely on Konica cameras from the 1980s. And it is possible to get an adapter and mount them onto a micro 4/3 mirrorless digital camera. Hexanon lenses were well regarded in their time. But they are of limited usefulness since they belong to a long-orphaned camera system.Read full review

Minolta AF 28mm f/2.8 Lens This Minolta 28mm f2.8lens is quite unique for its appearance. Though it looks very cute and small, it does quite a lot of neat things. Photo quality is outstanding due to the fact that it has an eye like us. Very useful lens for low-light pictures and sharp tact pictures from a strong/rugged body. When I received mine from auction from Ebay, on par with the 50mm/1.7. I loved its look. It worked flawlessly and very fast focusing on my Alpha a200 and a900. Pictures turned out OUTSTANDING!! Recommended. Get it for a good price on EBAY!! I've heard that the Minolta 28mm f/2 is better and more expensive because it's a better quality lens. But I think I'll stay with the f/2.8 for now until I can afford it. Fast and sharp, has retractable lens hood, very compact and dependable for such a cute lens, simple to use, less weight and smaller size lens to fit in bag, and it's a strong lens, It is a full frame also, compatible with all of Sony's current and future Alphas.Read full review

28mm f/2.8 - my opinion Got this len used condition from a lady here on Ebay. Build quality is fair , no surprises , very small len, fixed 2.8 aperture is good for low light. Image quality is OK , cant compare to monilta's 35mm f/2 but for a prime this size its ok , afcourse micro contrast is great compared to the zooms. Optics here are far better then the zooms , this len is as sharp as a nife. Autofocus speed is pretty slow, so its good for travel and stuff, but not to catch your kid in the move. i give it 3/5 and it's worth the price, yes.
