Konica's 35mm f/2 M-Hexanon, built for the Hexar RF rangefinder.

The M-Hexanon 35mm f/2 was designed by Konica specifically for the Hexar RF rangefinder system and mounts natively on Leica M-mount cameras. At 35mm and f/2, it sits at a focal length that works across a wide range of shooting situations, from available-light street work to documentary and travel photography where a single prime needs to carry real weight. The 46mm filter thread keeps the front element compact relative to its aperture class.

Because it uses the Leica M mount, this lens also works on any M-mount body, film or digital, giving it a long useful life beyond the Hexar RF platform. The M-Hexanon optical design reflects Konica's engineering approach to rangefinder glass, and at f/2 it gives shooters meaningful light-gathering capability in a fixed 35mm prime.

Who It's For

Hexar RF owners looking for a purpose-built companion lens will find this was designed exactly for that system. Street and documentary photographers shooting Leica M-mount bodies, whether film or digital, get a 35mm f/2 prime that fits the native mount without adapters. Travel photographers who want a single compact prime can work the 35mm focal length across contexts. Film shooters drawn to Konica's rangefinder optics and working within the M-mount ecosystem have a direct path to using this lens on a wide range of bodies.
