Our editorial take on the Konica 90mm f/2.8 M-Hexanon Lens for Hexar RF, Black
The Konica M-Hexanon 90mm f/2.8 is a compact telephoto lens designed for the Konica Hexar RF rangefinder system. Built around an Ernostar optical formula with five elements in four groups, it delivers the high contrast and color reproduction Konica's M-Hexanon line is known for. At 90mm, it sits in the short telephoto range, well-suited for portraits, street photography, and reportage where discretion and portability matter.
What sets this lens apart from typical 90mm optics is its size and weight. Konica engineered it to be significantly smaller and lighter than competing designs, bringing it closer to the handling characteristics of standard and wide-angle lenses. The aperture design is meant to produce pleasing bokeh while maintaining the sharp in-focus rendering M-Hexanon lenses are recognized for. This used example is listed at $339 in excellent-plus condition, making it an accessible entry point for Hexar RF users looking to expand their kit with a longer focal length without adding bulk.

About this product
Konica developed this telephoto lens in response to demand for an easy-to-carry product allowing quick photography, as well as a size in line with standard lenses. Despite its 90mm focal length, the M-HEXANON 90mm F/2.8 is amazingly small and lightweight. Smaller than typical 90mm lenses, this model provides a level of portability normally associated with standard and wide-angle lenses, making it perfect for portraits, snapshots or reporting. This Ernostar-type lens comprises a primary section including three elements in three groups, plus a secondary section of two elements in one group, resulting in high contrast and outstanding color reproduction. The lens aperture provides clearer out-of-focus regions, while at the same time ensuring the sharp near-subject focus that is characteristic of M-HEXANON lenses. | Konica 90mm f/2.8 M-Hexanon Lens for Hexar RF, Black | 46 | - EX+ - Excellent Plus - With Caps | Used
