Konica's 50mm f/2 prime built for the Hexar RF system.

The M-Hexanon 50mm f/2 is a fixed focal length lens designed from the ground up for the Konica Hexar RF rangefinder. At f/2, it gives you enough light-gathering capability for low-available-light work without the size penalty of faster glass. The 40.5mm filter thread keeps the front element compact, and the M-Hexanon designation places it within Konica's dedicated rangefinder lens series.

Because this lens was purpose-built for the Hexar RF than adapted from another system, it operates within the camera's native lens ecosystem. For shooters who already own the Hexar RF and want a standard focal length that belongs to that system than a workaround, this is the logical choice. A 50mm field of view sits close to how the human eye frames a scene, which makes it a natural fit for documentary and street work where you want your instincts, not your gear, doing the thinking.

Who It's For

Street photographers using the Konica Hexar RF will find the 50mm focal length well-matched to the way rangefinder shooting works, zone focus, pre-focus, or quick compose-and-shoot. Documentary and travel photographers who need a single normal prime than a zoom bag will appreciate the fixed 50mm perspective. Film photographers building a native M-Hexanon kit around the Hexar RF body benefit from a lens that was engineered for that specific system, with f/2 offering meaningful light-gathering in mixed or dim conditions.

FAQ

Is the M-Hexanon 50mm f/2 compatible with Leica M-mount cameras?
The M-Hexanon mount is Konica's proprietary rangefinder mount designed for the Hexar RF system. Consult Konica documentation or compatibility resources for use with other rangefinder cameras.
What's the filter thread size for this lens?
40.5mm. Standard size, so filters and accessories are readily available.
Why choose 50mm for a rangefinder camera?
A 50mm focal length sits close to how your eye naturally frames a scene, making it ideal for documentary and street work where instinct drives composition rather than gear constraints.
How much light does the f/2 aperture let in?
f/2 gives you solid low-light capability without the bulk and cost of faster glass. It's enough for available-light work in most indoor and evening conditions.
Is this lens built specifically for the Hexar RF?
Yes. The M-Hexanon 50mm f/2 was designed from the ground up for the Hexar RF rather than adapted from another system, so it operates natively within that camera's ecosystem.
What makes this better than using an adapted lens on the Hexar RF?
Purpose-built glass means the lens integrates directly with the camera's native system without workarounds or compatibility compromises. If you own the Hexar RF, this is the standard focal length that belongs to it.
