I have in hand a Konishiroku Hexar ser. I 25cm/4.5 serial nº 7120 barrel lens (will shoot and upload images this weekend). It' clearly a military lens, possibly for the F-8 equivalent. Am I right in assuming that given its 'Konishiroku' instead of Rokuoh-Sha it's manufactured after 1943? Somehow a post 1945 date, although possible, does not feel right Dirk
- Yes I think that these lenses marked Konishiroku were made between 1943 and 1945 for military use. I have a picture of the F-8 copy showing exactly the same mounting plate as on your own lens. --rebollo_fr 18:17, 10 July 2010 (EDT)
