See Konica lenses in Leica screw mount for the screw mount lenses made by Konishiroku's successor Konica in the 1990s, before the introduction of the Hexar RF.

Konishiroku made lenses in Leica mount around the 1950s:

  • 35mm f/2.5 Hexanon (six elements in five groups), rigid, all chrome, focusing tab (experimental only)[1]
  • 50mm f/3.5 Hexar (four elements in three groups), collapsible, all chrome, focusing tab
  • 50mm f/3.5 Hexar (four elements in three groups), rigid, all chrome
  • 50mm f/3.5 Hexanon, collapsible, all chrome, focusing tab (on the Ichicon-35)
  • 50mm f/1.9 Hexanon (six elements in five groups), all chrome, focusing tab, ¥23,500
  • 50mm f/1.8 Hexanon, black and chrome (experimental only, for the Konica FR)[2]
  • 50mm f/1.5 Hexanon (seven elements in five groups), all chrome, focusing tab (experimental only)[1]
  • 60mm f/1.2 Hexanon (seven elements in six groups), black and chrome, ¥78,000
  • 75mm f/3.5 Hexanonsource needed
  • 135mm f/3.5 Hexanon, black and chrome (experimental only)[1]
  • 15cm f/4.5 Hexar Ser.1, pictured in this page at mflenses.com, all chrome barrel, perhaps for Leica screw mount
  • 40cm f5.6 Tele-Hexar (Note: lens uses a 39mm LTM, but it is unknown if it were intended for use on rangefinder cameras or on other cameras using that mount.)

Among these, several of the standard lenses were notably mounted on the Honor, Ichicon-35, Chiyoca and Chiyotax.
