Our editorial take on the Konica 100mm F/2.8 Hexanon EE AR Mount Lens

The Konica 100mm F/2.8 Hexanon EE AR is a vintage manual focus lens originally designed for Konica's AR mount SLR system. With its classic short telephoto focal length and fast F/2.8 aperture, it was built for portraiture, candid shooting, and low-light work in the film era. Today it remains adaptable to modern mirrorless cameras via third-party adapters, making it a low-cost option for creators interested in manual focus glass with character.

KEH lists this copy in bargain condition at $120, which suggests visible wear and potentially some optical or mechanical issues typical of heavily used vintage glass. The AR mount system is less common than Canon FD or Nikon F, so adapter availability and compatibility should be verified before purchase. Without user reception data, this lens is best treated as a budget experiment for those already familiar with adapting vintage glass, rather than a reliable workhorse for critical projects.

Best for: Budget-conscious creators experimenting with vintage manual focus glass on adapted mirrorless systems.
What's great
  • Fast F/2.8 aperture for shallow depth of field and low-light capability
  • Classic 100mm focal length ideal for portraits and detail work
  • Affordable entry point into vintage manual focus optics
Watch outs
  • Bargain condition indicates visible wear and potential optical or mechanical flaws
  • AR mount less common, requiring adapter research for modern camera compatibility
