Konica Primes Lens Set

Although it had many names over the years, the company behind the incredible accomplishment of the Konica Primes Lens Set, and countless others would later be known simply as Konica. Their exacting quality control standards for raw materials gave them a reputation for excellence. In fact, only 30% of the glass made for Konica was accepted after quality control testing. Resulting in an incredibly consistent sets of lenses.

Konica produced some of the greatest optics in history…The Hexanons. The 57mm f1.2 has been highly regarded among photographers for decades. While the 40mm f1.8 is highly coveted, because of its gorgeous bokeh and bold flares. In addition, the ultra special 28mm f1.8 is the fastest 28mm of its time and boasts an impressive close focus distance of just under 7 inches. Every focal length in the set is a top performer, making this truly a “no compromise” set of vintage cinema lenses. Aberrations are well controlled for the time, resulting in the perfect balance between performance and character. Hexanons are known for their sharpness even wide open. A smooth focus fall off in the corners and vibrant colors gives them their “pop” look. Bokeh is smooth and even throughout the set. Flares are subtle with purple and gold coloring.
