M8 and Hexanon-M 90mm 2.8?

[HarryBaker]

<p>A word of recommendation for Ffordes in Scotland (https://secure.ffordes.com/index.htm) with whom I have no connection other than that I saw a Hexanon-M 90mm 2.8 lens 'as new' listed. I phoned, talked to a very pleasant man, ordered over the phone and it arrived next day delivery in an amazingly well protected package. It is as new and I've put up a pic here. Detail of a medieval house in Saffron Walden, this was shot on fine JPG with no after processing or sharpening at all in PS. It is as shot. Has anyone else used this combo?</p><div></div>

<p>I have the 90 and use it on my M8. It's a fantastic lens and would not give it up.<br>

To code it you just have to black out the screw that is in the coding area on the lens mount.</p>

<p>Konica. A great loss, with their great RF camera and several very very fine lenses for it, not to mention the wonderful 750 nm B&W IR film, available before in 35mm and 120.</p>

<p>Why doesn't Fujifilm or another buy up the Konica technology and production facilities, at least for these items? </p>
