Thanks for this video - I purchased the 135mm a few days ago. I also purchased the 50mm f1.4 and an adapter for my Fuji X-T4. Then I thought to myself why not experience the Konica Hexanon AR mount lenses as they were intended, so I purchased a near mint silver Konica Autoreflex T3 for a great price. I'll be shooting with it tomorrow with a roll of Kodak Gold 200. The T3 is solid good and heavy just like I wanted - and the shutter speeds all seem accurate - I'll see how it goes tomorrow. BTW - you have a new subscriber.
@@steveborghardt Thanks for the subscription, id be interested in hearing how you get along with the lenses and the camera, I have an autoreflex T3 in black but I've not put a roll of film through it yet, looks like a good camera and I can't wait to try it out,I've been contemplating getting a bulk roll of b&w film so I can do more film photography, let me know how you get along .
I'm a big fan of Konica lenses. I think the 135mm f3.2 is the best out of the three made. Anyway you gave me an idea. I used the extension tube from the 55mm macro kit and my close focusing distance went from 3 meters to .5 meters but lost Infinity focus. Thanks for the idea and bring these great lenses back around for people to consider.
@@christopherleecowan thank you for the encouragement, I was wondering whether these reviews were helpful, your comment have given me the boost I need to keep doing these
Another lovely production Karl and I loved the flamingo story 😂. Beautiful photos, keep them coming.

Nice test shots, nice enough to tip me towards buying a copy. Diolch yn fawr😊
@@elfynjones2554 I'm sure you won't be disappointed,and thank you ( diolch yn fawr) for your comment
Why not get extension tubes for the camera mount eg Sony, then you can use them for any vintage lens for which you have an adaptor?
@@alanboyd2413 very good suggestion, will do 👍
