I dug out my parents old Konica Autoreflex TC for the first time yesterday. It\'s been staring at me for a long time, but I haven\'t dared to try it.
I sealed the rear film door/hatch/whatever (proper english?) with electrical tape and used my Gossen meter, and the results were simply amazing. The Hexanon 40/1.8 might be the nicest lens I\'ve ever tried.
Now, this was an ”entry level camera” at the time in 1976, but the viewfinder is large and the lens is freakin fantastic. I\'d say it\'s probably better than the Voigtländer 40/2. Low vignetting, medium low (easy to correct) barrel distortion, sharp straight from f/1.8 and nice bokeh once you focus at a meter or two (very harsch for closeups).
I shot these with Kodak Tmax 100 @ EI 50 and developed in Fomadon R09 (Rodinal) 1:40 for 8 minutes at 20°C with one minute presoaking. Should have kept to EI 100, but it worked alright.
