TITLE
Performance of the Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f1.7 is superb – the images are contrasty and sharp. Even wide-open the centre of the frame is sufficiently detailed for the great-looking portraits. Sharpness significantly improves when stopped down, and becomes adequate for most photos from about f2.8. Subject separation is excellent, and background blur (bokeh) is pleasing.
Vignetting is strong when wide-open but improves quickly at smaller apertures.
Shooting into the sun causes flaring with a (subjectively) beautiful bright blue flares. Blue cast sometimes covers significant portions of the image, allowing creative use of this lens to enhance the mood. Overall, I love the colour reproduction of the Hexanon 50mm f1.7, and it is one of the reasons I have used this lens for a long time, in various locations.
