Overview / 概要

Why Konica Hexar AF matters.

The Hexar AF is a compact camera for people who care about the sound and feel of taking a photograph as much as the result.

Design & context

Its black body is almost anonymous until the lens and shutter release reveal the precision underneath.

Buying today

Check the lens, motor, and silent mode; the camera is desirable, but not every example is equally quiet or reliable.
