hahah.. i not master lah! just most ppl here think Konica is lousy brand for camera.
I normally don't follow the majority, instead go for odd option by own research on best price/performance products.
that's how i choose NEX also although quite a numbers of surrounding friends are C&N photographers!
It's painful to let go those hexanons, but no point to keep them only in the dry cabinet. better let go for other ppl who can enjoy using it.
I will try to do short review and sample photo for each i have then share with you guys. that's will take a while!
The Voigtlander Ultron 28mm f2.0 brand new around RM2k, can order from Shashinki or some local shops.
i got mine 2nd hand with slightly lower price. it is small but solid and heavy like those metal built hexanons.
no time to test shoot outside yet. hopefully this weekend can bring out for shooting.

thumbs up for u bro...Unless u r on CZ or Leica, whoever thinks the Konica Hexanon is lousy certainly is ignorant... should pick up their best lens & benchmark again a real hexanon pixel to pixel. I'll bet on a hexanon prime any day.
I'm selling lenses for modern canikon's, & sold a huge load legacy lenses from nikkor kogaku, canon fd, takumar, minolta, tokina, tamron etc,... only a fraction... very small selected faction will even come close the Hexanon's quality.
While the konica zooms cant match today's quality in terms of distortion. The Hexanon primes is really tough to beat even on today latest lenses. If you know how to use that is...
Problem with people is that they dunno the sharper the lens, the higher shutter speed is need. The thumb rule 1/mm of focal length rules is hardly sharp... it d edge of nearly useless. U need at least 2x on a pair of good hands... for u & me probably 3x of that to actually see d sharpness difference. Otherwise use ur tripod... as they say.. the sharpest lens in ur camera bag is ur tripod.
From my personal test... with the exception of the 57F1.4 & 57F1.2, all other Hexanon primes on NEX cropped APS-C is sharp edge to edge wide open. Characteristic of hexanon... distortionless on all primes... DoF is curved nearer to you towards edge & becomes thinner. But if u focus properly using MF assist, corners are still sharp wide open.
how's ur Voigtlander? ... I did try a 35F1.4... certainly not as sharp as d price made me tot if would be.
