product details
150 years after Konica jumpstarted the Japanese photography industry, the legendary Hexanon series of still lenses have been rehoused for use with modern cinema cameras. Ancient Optics has lovingly rehoused 8 Hexanon focal lengths from 21mm to 135mm. Each lens covers full frame sensors - including the Alexa LF at open gate - and can come equipped in either PL or LPL mounts. The look of these lenses is a delicate balance of vintage character and modern performance, with well controlled aberration and sharpness even when wide open. Purple and gold flares pair nicely with the smooth focus fall off in the corners to create a truly special vintage feel without being overly distracting. The Konica Hexanon cine lenses are available for rental or sub-rental from Cine Visuals either as a single lens, partial kit, or complete set.

Image Performance
Handling & Adaptability
The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
