People who are looking for an affordable wide-angle lens that has a small profile and weighs in at 6-7 oz (depending on the variation) might find a perfect fit with the Konica Minolta Hexar AR. Made with a popular focal length, this 28 mm f/3.5 lens was redesigned several times, and the stats varied slightly for each. This Konica Minolta camera lens is a fixed/prime manual focus lens designed to fit the AR mount — available on many older Konica film-style cameras that use an SLR camera lens. The 28 mm focal length has remained useful since its release and is a good choice for those who are just learning about and practicing with film photography — especially travel photography. The smallest aperture in the 5-element construction is 16. All variations of the Konica Minolta Hexar AR deliver sharp focused images with good contrast and little distortion. Additionally the lens element is large and prominent, so the use of a lens hood to restrict light interference can decrease problems with contrast. The Konica Minolta Hexar AR is well constructed and quiet to use. The iris blades move freely, focusing is smooth, and the control-ring for the aperture rotates smoothly and adjusts accurately, just as they do in almost every Konica Minolta camera lens ever made. Overall, this might be a good choice for photographers who want to experiment with film and a 28 mm f/3.5 lens without investing a lot in equipment to do so.
