greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hi all, does anyone have any experience with the Konica 50mm F/1.2 lens that comes as kit with the Hexar RF LE? How does it compare to Leica Noctilux both at f/1.2 and up so, someone is offering me a great deal on the Hexar LE kit, about the price of a Noctilux, if the lens is good I mgiht pick it up, any comments would be appreciate? Thank you all!!!

I think there may be another thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Finding info and honest feedback will be challenging.

Honestly, not many people are using this lens. It was designed to be collectable, and people are treating it that way in order to retain it's value, as Konica gear doesn't hold value as well as most Leica.

Hope it helps Mitch
