haha! nice to here someone else is getting Konica Hexanon lens too!
here I think mainly is me to play on Konica Hexanon lenses, because it is not common mount.
Same like u, I opt for Konica Hexanon for its affordable price and quite a good reputable sharp prime lenses.
The most reputable one is 57mm F1.2, but the price is too high and very rare! (not to mentionthe M-Hexanon 50mm F1.2 for Leica M mount which is super over price!)
So i go for 50mm F1.4 (F16 early version) which someone said it is the cheaper successor for 57/1.2 with the same 7 elements in 6 groups design.
It is still rare compare to 50mm F1.7. Now the 50/1.4 is always with my camera beside the SEL18200.
Now I have collected for Konica Hexanon: 40/1.8, 50/1.4 (early), 57/1.4 (white ring), 50/1.7 (early F16), 50/1.7(late F22), 28/3.5 (early), 135/3.5(early), 135/3.5(late), 80-200mm F4.5 (late compact zoom).
All bid from Ebay, some are come in package. it is quite a gambling to bid from ebay, especially worry on getting defected items or worst missing parcel!
I think i have enough Konica Hexanon unless can get good deal on the UC version!
My next target will be the Voigtlander or Zeiss, but i think i need to sell off most of the lenses to fund it!
You sure have a very huge collection of Konicas, struck by LBA?

And I assume the 135mm f3.5 is good, coz you even bought 2! I'm still missing a macro atm, have anything in mind to recommend? A few sites did mention Konica Macro-Hexanon AR 55mm f3.5, but working distance seems rather near which may not be appropriate in some cases.
As for missing parcel, so far I haven't experience any even with the cheap First Class Mail. For more expensive and fragile items, I'll opt for Priority Mail which is faster and trackable.

Added on February 29, 2012, 12:11 amall lens i bought from ebay are super cheap... good luck of me
MD 50mm f1.7 is around RM100 include postage...
RM100 is a pretty good price, especially including postage. Haiz, guess my timing not right... Always got "rivals" rebut-rebut with me.
