Review
Hexar RF Limited is a limited edition camera set created by Konica in 2001, including 2001 units, including the exclusive Hexanon 50mm F1.2.
The only difference between the limited version and the regular version is the exterior, and the performance is exactly the same. Therefore, the usability is as introduced on the normal version page.
The titanium exterior color of the Limited matches well with Leica’s titanium-colored lenses, so I took pictures with the titanium version of the SUMMILUX 35mm attached.
Around 2006, I bought a boxed, unused item on Rakuten for almost the regular price. I would be interested to see how much it would have been worth in 2024 if I had left it unused, but I used it up a lot and ended up selling it.
