Description — Konica MF 105mm f/4 Macro AR Bellows
The Konica MF 105mm f/4 Hexanon Macro AR Bellows Lens is a vintage manual focus optic from the 1970s, built around the Konica AR mount and designed for the 35mm SLR format. As a dedicated bellows lens, it pairs with a compatible bellows system to enable close-up photography with precise magnification control determined by the bellows extension. The Konica AR mount is a well-known vintage standard, and this lens is a purposeful addition to any collection focused on macro work or Konica's optical history.
Focus is fully manual, placing all creative control in the photographer's hands — a natural fit for the careful, frame-by-frame workflow that macro imaging demands. Flash compatibility is listed as None, so external lighting solutions should be considered for illuminating close-up subjects. Whether used on a vintage 35mm Konica SLR body or adapted to a modern camera platform, this Hexanon bellows lens offers a direct connection to precision macro photography from a foundational era of SLR optics.
