One of the 'other' reasons you get better tone when using your 57mm1.2 is that you might have the early version which was slightly yellow coated to enhance...
I was thinking the same thing - my earlier version does the same. It does that so well that I don't care for using it with color film. I feel it distorts...
Hi all, I am reluctant to say that the coatings were specifically designed for B&W photography, but there were definite changes in coatings used on lenses from...
A short comment: My 57 mm f1.2 is with rubber on the focusing ring and with the bluish/ ruby tinted coating, i.e. not one of the earliest versions. Same tint...
Very interesting discussion on coatings! I remember the same question was asked in an Optics course when I was at university in the early Seventies: "Why is...
Hi Daniel, You're right! This is a debate likely to continue for quite a while. I suspect a lot will remain pure speculation. Most lens makers were and are...
The much more extensive use of coatings just after WWII is due in part to progress made under the demands of war - optics played a huge part in the war effort,...
Please visit the "files" section under KON060704 for a complete description of my personal Konica equipment that I wish to sell as a lot. There are a couple of...
Hi everyone, Is anyone looking for a Konica 35-100 Varifocal Lens? We have one as part of an estate sale. The camera it belonged to has long been sold. This...
What's the average ebay on this , folks? I have a 28-105 Kiron I'm sciencing out right now..a hefty little booger for its size.. Group..how rare is the...
Outside of collectordom you're probably just as well off with the Kiron. I like the varifocal but for 250-300 you can buy a half dozen of the Kirons and the...
For those who enjoy macro shooting, check this lens out - eBay item# 3819828151. This guy is made by the same manufacturer as the more well-known 55mm version,...
This is a VERY interesting browse pointed out to me by a fellow Konicaphile... http://www.photographica-world.de/. Click on KAMERAPREISE link on the left and...
Odd indeed, the Auto S2 is in a 10 Euro higher bracket than the S3? The T3 commands 10 Euros less money than a TC? I lost belief in the list and left after...
Interestingly enough I recall a conversation a little while back here about how the TC was not very common in Europe... that uncommon I have a hard time ...
Can anyone tell me if they have used a Sigma 21-35mm zoom f3.5-4.5? Good, bad, "fair-to-middleing"??? (no grammar police please, I do not want to start that...
Uh-uh, naw, man you can't back out like that - every good southern boy knows it's middlin'... I've never used that lens but it seems to correspond to a Sun...
Chuck, Bought one after Greg Weber recommended it to me and have never regretted it. Above average sharpness and contrast, especially for a zoom. Pretty good...
Chuck, The Sigma wide angle zoom came in two versions. The first in the late 70's was a 21-35mm f3.5 - 4.2 one touch zoom and did not come with a built in...
Yes, I have one. Great lens and not easy to find in a Konica mount. Sue In a message dated 6/5/2004 2:32:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time, mpcfan@... writes: ...
Philip Thanks for the heads up! I have been wanting this lens to go with my 55 & 90 macro Vivitars. Jim ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? ...
Hi Philip, ... about ... time ... I believe the TC is by far the most common Konica in Europe. Within the last six months, there have been about as many TCs on...
These prices do not reflect ebay.co.uk prices. Usually an Auto S3 will sell for four or more times the price of an S2 here, and I bought a TC for £8.00...
Hi, I need some help figuring out what mount a lens has. I just bought a Sigma 600 mirror for (Minolta). The fellow had tried it on his Canon, and sold it to...
Hi everyone, Here are a few more details on the Konica varifocal lens we have and are interested in selling. It has a UV filter, lens hood and all lens caps...
Hi Steve, Try this website: http://members.tripod.com/rick_oleson/index-99.html There are pictures of various lens mounts. It's helped me out on more than one...
Hi Steve, You might want to check out that lens a little further before rejecting it. I've not personally used it, but folks who have seem to really like it. I...
Steve, I agree with Alan; check to see if that's just a T2 for some other camera and see if you can locate a similar one with a Konica mount. The 3 set screws...
Hi, Thanks to Alan and Sue. Sue; the closest pic looks to be the Pentax K. I have a friend I can call tonight > 15 miles away, that may have the right camera...
Hi, there is a very rare and unsual stereocamera on ebay Germany, item no: 3819608195. The seller claims it is a Konica and the first bid was 2300 euros. Did...
