Regarding unowned lenses

• HEXANON Dual lens 21-35
  • Since it’s an old zoom lens, I heard that the aberration correction isn’t very good and results in distortion, so I didn’t buy it.
  • With a rangefinder camera, it’s not that much of a hassle to carry around a 21mm and a 35mm lens separately, so the purpose of this lens is questionable, but I would have liked a 21mm prime lens that pursued optical performance.
• UC HEXANON 35
  • I had several chances to purchase this lens, but I didn’t because I already owned the silver HEXANON 35mm F2.
  • As of 2024, used prices have skyrocketed, so I’m not sure if it’s worth the money.
