I would love some info on this as Konica AR mount speedboosters do not seem to be available. How did you make yours?
My introduction to vintage lenses was with Hexanon ARs on an Olympus E-510. I even swapped out the focus screen for one with split image and microprism focus aids.

Those look great! Any more info about your Speed Booster? I'm guessing you also put it together yourself. Curious about how you got it to work.
It was a metabones speedbooster for something else, after measuring to make sure the konica glass would fit (it did for 40/1.8 and 57/1.4 just barely) then a shop machined it and the mount was changed out for a konica one. Not sure how anything wider than 40 would work, as I am not sure how much further if any the rear elements stick out, the 40 sticks out a bit passed the flange already.

Neat. Are you able to focus to infinity? Mind sharing a photo to show what it looks like?
