The Konica Hexar AF is a point and shoot in name only. Aperture priority, full manual exposure, exposure compensation, a real aperture dial: it handles like an SLR that happens to focus for you. The fixed 35mm f/2 Hexanon is the star, a legendary optic openly benchmarked against the Leica Summicron, and its near-silent shutter makes it a street photography icon. Cross-shopping a Contax G2 or G1? The Hexar gets you the same premium 35mm autofocus experience for less, with quieter operation and an active AF system that nails focus in the dark where the Contax hunts. The only catch is a 1/250 top shutter speed, the tradeoff for flash sync at every speed and that famous Silent Mode. Show more
