Lens Overview — Konica MF 35mm f/2 AR

The Konica Hexanon EE AR 35mm f/2 is a vintage manual focus prime lens built for the Konica AR mount camera system. Covering a full frame image circle, this standard-range prime delivers a 35mm focal length that has long been a go-to choice for street, documentary, and everyday shooting. With a maximum aperture of f/2, it offers a meaningful degree of light-gathering capability that can help in lower-light environments and allows for some degree of subject separation.

Being a fully manual lens, focusing is handled entirely by the photographer, which suits those who prefer deliberate, hands-on control over their shooting process. The lens accepts 55mm filters, making it compatible with a wide range of common filter accessories. Weighing in at 300g, it sits at a moderate weight for a lens of its type — substantial enough to feel well-built without being cumbersome.

Designed for Konica AR-mount SLR cameras, it can also be adapted to a variety of modern mirrorless and DSLR systems using third-party AR-mount adapters. This makes it an appealing option not only for collectors of vintage Konica gear, but also for photographers exploring manual glass on contemporary camera bodies.
