I’ve had this lens for quite some time – at least since 2015, but haven’t used it very much. Most Saturday’s I take the dog for a walk around Briarcliff Manor. We usually pass behind the first station; around by the playing fields; through the library and finally end up at Moon Beam Cafe for a coffee for me and a well deserved bowl of water for Harley. It’s particularly pleasant in warm weather because the Cafe was formerly a house so it has a nice covered porch in front. I love to sit and read there while we wait for my wife.

As for the lens. It feels very well made and is certainly very sharp. However, there’s something about it that I’m not wild about. It’s hard to put my finger on it. Maybe it’s the colors. I find them a little too cool for my taste.

There’s a comprehensive review of it on My Favorite Lens (See: Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f1.7 Review).
