Unknow child looking at me, last night of the Schiaffoni Sagra - Campo, Pisa.

The Lens: Summicron Killer, not Summicron Copy

Rampant internet rumors aside, the lens in the Hexar AF is not a summicron copy. It’s obscene that you can buy a hexar af for $300-500 because the lens is worth far more than that. It rivals the three dimensionality and smooth bokeh of the most notorious leica 35’s. It’s a sharp as any lens has a right to be. It’s fast enough to allow shooting in absurdly low light levels with fast film. With the active AF system, you can shoot the hexar af in light levels that would make manual focussing darn near impossible and would throw most passive af slrs into a hunting tizzy. The lens does vignette slightly wide open. I’ve come to like this in a lot of lenses. It gives a very subtle in camera edge burn that works well for portraits. And it’s gone by 2.8, so if you don’t want the vignetting stop down.
