uncle_ziba Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Can anybody suggest a place to buy the 28mm Konica Hexanon M lens? Ilooked at b&h, adoroma and an auction site but didn't find any. I'min the US but I don't mind buying from overseas if the price isreasonable. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n1664876959 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Kurland Photo has sold Konica Hexanon lenses on eBay. A good place for used equipment is <a href="http://www.keh.com/shop/product.cfm?bid=LM&cid=06&sid=newused&crid=7027372">KEH</a>. Hexanon-M lenses are no longer made by Konica. Just keep tabs on eBay and sooner or later one will turn up, I have seen several there on sale. Also check the Classifieds on photo.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricks Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Check eBay, check and post WTB ads here on PN, post similar ads on HexarRF on yahoo-groups. Expect to pay around $5-600. Great little lens from what I understand. Or buy it from Europe or Japan - but that becomes expensive witht he weak dollar. Lastly, Konica/Minolta is rumored to be releasing a new rangefinder film camera at Photokina this Fall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolaresLarrave Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 A while ago, Calumet Photo had one for sale at $649, I believe. 28mm is a bit too wide for my confort, so I got a Konica Hexanon 35/2 from Kevin Mendenhall. Good luck and keep checking the Classified ads too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin m. Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Ebay is a good place to look. Find the seller 'gr8fuldoug' (sp?) as he used to deal Konica pretty heavily. I've seen them sell on ebay for less than $500 on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_rosenstein2 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Try Badger Graphic (http://www.badgergraphic.com/). Go to the left menu and click 35mm& digital. Then go to "used equipment". The Konica 28mm Hexanon M listed is a new lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidv1 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 http://www.georgeury.com/ He's got one listed for $575. George seems nice enough. I bought a GMP grip from him and was pleased with the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_b_p Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hi Zibadun, I have one for sale. If you are interested, e-mail me today or tomorrow . I am in the US. Thanks, Richard richardvbrown@earthlink.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_c2 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I used to own one. You shouldn't have to pay more than $475 for it if it is used, even in mint condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle_ziba Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 Thanks to all. I bought a mint lens on that auction site for $480. I shot only 1/3 of a roll so far, but this is a an outstanding lens; at this price probably nothing comes close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
