Konica Hexar RF Limited Camera, Titanium with 50mm f/1.2 M-Hexanon Lens {62} (36366 Silver) Complete Collector's Set

Konica's rarest rangefinder paired with a legendary f/1.2 lens.

The Hexar RF Limited Titanium is the collector's configuration of Konica's serious answer to the Leica M system, a rangefinder film body finished in titanium silver and paired with the 50mm f/1.2 M-Hexanon in matching silver. The M-Hexanon 50mm f/1.2 is the reason this set exists. That maximum aperture makes it one of the fastest lenses ever produced for the M-mount, and Konica's optical engineering in this focal length has earned a devoted following among film shooters who work in low light by necessity, not preference.

The Hexar RF body itself runs Leica M-mount natively, meaning the entire ecosystem of M-glass works here, but the 50/1.2 bundled in this set is not a lens you can easily source separately. The 62mm filter thread accommodates serious glass, and the titanium finish isn't purely cosmetic; it marks this as a numbered limited edition produced in small quantities. As a shooting kit, it covers every situation where a fast standard lens and a rangefinder's compact form factor give you an advantage. As an object, it's one of the more considered things Konica ever produced.

Who It's For

Street photographers shooting available light after dark will find the 50mm f/1.2 aperture opens up film stocks that would otherwise be impractical. Documentary and travel shooters who want M-mount compatibility without committing to Leica's price point get a body built to the same mechanical standard. Collectors focused on limited-edition analog equipment will recognize this titanium set as a closed configuration, body and lens together as originally issued. Portrait shooters drawn to fast standard lenses on film will find the f/1.2 rendering on 35mm full-frame to be its own discipline worth pursuing.

FAQ

Is the 50mm f/1.2 M-Hexanon available as a separate purchase?

Not reliably. This lens appears almost exclusively in the Hexar RF Limited Titanium set. If you find one sold separately, expect collector pricing well above standard M-mount glass.

Will other M-mount lenses work on the Hexar RF body?

Yes. The Hexar RF runs native Leica M-mount, so the entire ecosystem of M-glass functions on this body - but you're buying this set primarily for the 50/1.2.

How does the f/1.2 aperture perform in low light compared to standard 50mm rangefinder lenses?

The f/1.2 stops two full stops faster than an f/2.8 lens, meaning faster shutter speeds or lower film speeds in dim conditions. If you shoot fast film by necessity rather than choice, this aperture eliminates compromise.

What does the titanium finish actually do beyond appearance?

Titanium is more durable and corrosion-resistant than standard brass or aluminum, protecting the mechanism and optics in harsh environments. It also marks this as a numbered limited edition produced in small runs.

What filter size works with the bundled 50mm lens?

62mm filters fit the M-Hexanon 50mm f/1.2. Standard 50mm rangefinder glass typically uses 39mm or 46mm threads, so factor that into your filter investment.

Is this a rangefinder or SLR?

Rangefinder film body. You compose and focus through a rangefinder window, not a reflex mirror. That's what keeps the Hexar RF and all M-mount bodies compact.

How rare is this configuration?

Limited edition with a numbered production run. Finding one in original condition with both body and lens in matching titanium silver is substantially harder than sourcing a standard Hexar RF or standalone M-Hexanon glass.
