help Konica Hexar RF FAQ
Which lenses work on the Konica Hexar RF?
The camera uses Konica's KM bayonet, designed for broad compatibility with Leica M-mount lenses. Lens-to-body tolerances and frame-line selection can vary, so valuable Leica, Zeiss, Voigtlander, or M-Hexanon lenses should be checked individually.
Does the Konica Hexar RF offer automatic exposure and film advance?
Yes, it provides aperture-priority automatic exposure as well as manual shutter-speed selection. It also has motorized film loading, advance, and rewind, making it more automated than a Leica M6.
What is the fastest shutter speed on the Hexar RF?
Its electronically controlled shutter reaches 1/4000 second, with flash synchronization up to 1/125 second. That high top speed is useful when shooting fast M-mount lenses in daylight.
Is every Konica Hexar RF made from titanium?
No, the standard black Hexar RF should not simply be described as a titanium-bodied camera. Konica released a special silver-colored Limited set for 2001 with titanium-finish components, an M-Hexanon 50 mm f/1.2 lens, and an HX-18 flash.
