Hexar
Revision as of 23:09, 17 January 2009 by Rebollo fr (talk | contribs) (the Honor is a Leica copy by Zuiho, the Chiyoca is a different Leica copy, their Hexar lens is treated in the "lens for Leica screw mount" entry)
Konica and its predecessors used the trademark Hexar for both lenses and cameras:
- Hexar and Tele-Hexar lenses made from 1931 to 1959
- Hexar lens for Leica screw mount
- Konica Hexar (sometimes called "Hexar AF"), an autofocus camera
- Konica Hexar RF, a rangefinder camera
Other Japanese manufacturers used Konishiroku-made Hexar lenses on various models, including: Mamiya (35, original post WWII version, only sold military base exchange), Showa Leotax, Taron, Yallu, and Aires.
The Hexar mounted on the Mercury CC1500 by Universal Camera was not made by Konishiroku but by Wollensak, USA.
The French company Sagem also made an unrelated Hexar f/2 lens, both for its own Leica copy and for the Super Lynx I by Pontiac.
The Hexar 7.5cm lens found on the Hexi-0 made by Apparatebau und Kamerafabrik and sold by Hamaphot is a cheap f/11 meniscus, unrelated to Konishiroku.
