Magnificent photo!

Thanks for the comment. One of the things I like about this lens is it has a built in lens hood. Here is another photo.

Very nice, the colors are nice. The Bokeh is smooth also, must have like 8 blades or more.

I agree, great pictures and colours. Konica lenses are really underrated IMO. The good news is that makes them pretty inexpensive. I have a 35-70mm zoom (3.5 throughout the range) in the post that I got online yesterday for £18.99 - bargain.

The Konica build quality is spectacular too. I have the f3.5 version of this lens which also has the built in slide-out hood and it feels so good. Like it was crafted, not just manufactured. Just like my 57mm which I "love" even more. It makes me wonder why newer lenses can't at least have a light weight metal alloy barrel - the Olympus 17mm feels so incredibly cheap. The 20mm Panasonic isn't much better either. Maybe it's time for a thread about that if there isn't one already.

M5-User - I *think* all Hexanon lenses had 6 blades (as in hex-anon) but at 3.2 this would have been wide open anyway.

This one is uncropped hand held from about 2 m way.

Wow- perfect shot.

Really nice, The Eye's have it!
The lens sure does do great job with textures.
Cute one!

Thanks for the comments. I believe the the 3.2 is the sharpest of the 135mm Konica lenses and is my favorite of any of the 135mm that I own.

Our sons cat had 8 kittens. I have a feeling we will end up with one of them.

The last one with the kittens is very nice !

Amazing detail!

All pics from this lens are just awesome. The 'two kittens' photo is toppers, dbuckle. I have a 'Konica Special Contact' :-) in Washington,DC., - maybe I should ask him to get me a mint 135? Not so sure if I'll get used to the 270FOV, though? What do you think?

Go for it. I find this lens very easy to focus and it works well with the Oly IS.

Put Closeup filters on the lens for this one. I got this filter set 30 years ago and never used them. These are Corlander Spice seeds for my wife's spice rack. Shot hand held.

We are getting some snow today. Looks like the first real snow fall this winter. Shot hand held through a window.
