Original Description:

Offered for sale here is a VERY RARE "Konica Hexanon Zoom Lens Size 24x18 47-100 mm / 1:3.5" that bears serial number 6511017. This is probably the only half frame zoom that was ever designed. It was only produced for a brief period of time and with a very limited quantity. This is the one and only version of this Konica Zoom Hexanon 47~100mm lens. Its small filter thread diameter of 52 mm is not typical for "Hexanon" lenses. All other Hexanon and Hexar lenses for Konica SLR camer...as have filter thread diameters of 55 mm, if the size of the front element did not require even larger diameters for lens speed. It is a one-touch zoom with a combined setting ring for focusing and focal length shift. It is designed exclusively for the camera bodies of the Auto-Reflex and the Auto-Reflex P, which can be switched to half format 24x18 mm. With full-frame 24x36 mm there will be some vignetting in the corners at certain focal lengths, as the image circle is too small. When used with half format 24x18, this zoom lens covers an image angle area from light to medium telephoto lens. The image angle area is close to that of a 65-135 mm zoom in normal 24x36 mm format. On full 24x36 mm, the image angles reach from normal to light telephoto.INCLUDED IN THIS GREAT KONICA HALF- FRAME ZOOM LENS OUTFIT ARE: * An OUTSTANDING, GORGEOUS and RARE, "Konica Hexanon Zoom Lens Size 24x18 47-100 mm / 1:3.5" half-frame, Zoom Lens", Zoom lens that bears serial number 6511017. This focal length range is roughly equivalent to an 70-150mm lens on full frame. This unusual gem is very compact (see the picture with the bottle of Tabasco for a size comparative.
* Its EXTREMELY RARE, "Konica" metal, 52mm screw-in lens hood. This great looking, dedicated lens hood is the OEM match for the included, 47-100mm zoom lens. It is the mysterious, lens hood that they offered for this zoom and the first that I have ever found. Konica made very few, 52mm accessories. The case is stamped: "KONICA" and "Made In Japan". They mainly used 55mm and 57mm lens hoods on all of their smaller lenses for the AR Auto-Reflex lens series.
* Its original, dedicated, hard black leather lens case with snap closure. The top is stamped: "KONICA"; the bottom of the case is lightly stamped in small letters: "MADE IN JAPAN". It comes with an adjustable, hand strap that can easily be converted into a shoulder/neck strap. This case, like the lens, has the appearance of very little use.
* A black with chrome trim, Konica 52mm, slip-on, metal, front lens cap. The front face is embossed with "KONICA" in block lettering. Plus. a Konica BL (Bayonet Locking) rear lens cap.
* A Hoya (Japan) 52mm Skylight 1A filter with its clam shell case. This filter like others also offers an additional layer of protection for the front element of the lens, from scratches, dirt, and impact.This RARE and UNIQUE, lens ensemble is in EXCELLENT CONDITION optically, mechanically and cosmetically!!! It has gorgeous optics with beautiful multi-coating. There are no cleaning marks or scratches or fogging.. No fungus or separation. The diaphragm blades are free of oil and they operate smoothly. As usual, there is some minor internal dust, but nothing that would effect the quality of your negative. This lens has NOT been recently professionally cleaned. I have owned several nice examples of this lens in the past and this lens is the best specimen of the lot! It comes with its rare, original, hard, black leather lens case; the top is stamped: "> EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION optically, mechanically and cosmetically!!! This BEAUTIFUL lens has the look and feel like it just came from the factory. It has gorgeous optics with beautiful mult-coating. There are no cleaning marks or scratches or fogging. No fungus or separation. The diaphragm blades are free of oil and they operate smoothly. There is no slop or zoom creep with the focusing or zoom actions. As usual, there may be some very minor internal dust, but nothing that would effect the quality of your negative. This lens has NOT been recently professionally cleaned. I have owned several nice examples of this lens in the past and this lens is the best specimen of all of them! The dedicated lens  case would be a very hard item to find and this correct lens hood would be next to impossible to find. You may want to get them while you can.
I encourage you to carefully read the description, examine the photos, and ask any questions before you bid. The Auto-Reflex camera, the Konica display stand and the bottle of Tabasco are NOT included with this listing. They were used as display props and as a size comparative.
