Known for its remarkable sharpness even when shooting wide open, this lens delivers high-contrast images with a neutral, realistic color palette. The 52mm focal length offers a natural perspective very close to human vision, making it an incredibly versatile tool for street photography, portraits, and everyday documentation. \u003cspan class=\"citation-548 citation-end-548\"\u003eBuilt with a robust all-metal barrel and featuring Konica's signature high-precision machining, the Hexanon 52mm f\/1.8 provides a tactile, mechanical experience that modern plastic lenses cannot replicate.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eFast f\/1.8 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eRenowned Hexanon optical coating for superior flare resistance and high contrast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-308\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-547 citation-end-547\"\u003eRobust all-metal construction designed for professional-grade durability\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-309\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-546 citation-end-546\"\u003eSix-element optical design providing edge-to-edge sharpness\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"3\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-310\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-545 citation-end-545\"\u003eCompact and lightweight profile, making it an ideal \"walk-around\" prime lens\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"4\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-311\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-544 citation-end-544\"\u003eTactile manual focus ring with a smooth, well-damped rotation\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"5\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-312\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-543 citation-end-543\"\u003eLegendary Konica AR mount compatibility (easily adaptable to modern mirrorless systems)\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"6\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Konica Hexanon 52mm f\/1.8 is a testament to the golden era of Japanese optics, where \"standard\" lenses were engineered to out-perform their competitors. This specific unit (S\/N: 7414782) belongs to a lineage of glass so highly respected that the Japanese government once used Hexanon lenses as the standard for measuring optical quality. The f\/1.8 aperture allows for beautiful subject isolation, creating a smooth, creamy bokeh that makes portraits stand out. Whether you are mounting this on a classic Konica Autoreflex or adapting it to a modern digital sensor, the Hexanon 52mm offers a level of micro-contrast and character that brings a unique, organic feel to every frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-313\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The lens barrel (S\/N: 7414782) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age.

What I love about this 52mm f\/1.8 (S\/N: 7414782) is its 'bite'—the way it renders textures is incredibly crisp. It has a slightly more soulful rendering than the later 40mm or 50mm versions, offering a classic look that is perfect for film shooters. On a modern mirrorless camera, this lens truly shines; the colors are rich without being oversaturated, and the mechanical feel makes the act of focusing a joy. It’s an overbuilt, high-performance prime that reminds you why Konica was a titan of the industry.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eKonica Hexanon 52mm f\/1.8 Lens (S\/N: 7414782)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Konica AR Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 52mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-314\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-541 citation-end-541\"\u003eAperture Range: f\/1.8 - f\/16\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eCategory: Lenses ▸ Prime Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\" id=\"p-rc_d301c43e230384c0-315\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-540 citation-end-540\"\u003eFilter Size: 55mm\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"9\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Konica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53982267867476,"sku":"B104W5240BG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_5546_609bbedc-0931-487f-860c-0671ffb1c5ef.jpg?v=1774015538","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/konica-hexanon-52mm-f-1-8","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
