The Fujifilm X-H2 is a new camera to me and I am still learning the controls and functions. There are many differences from my previous camera the Fuji X-T4. This posting is about using the new camera with an old lens that I just acquired, the Konica Hexar AR 57 1.4, a manual focus lens from the Konica line in the 1972-1974 timeframe. I was gifted a Konica Autoreflex T and a set of lenses, and a very large set of filters.
The purpose of this post is to show a few examples from the Konica Hexar lenses, and especially a special purpose filter called the Kenko Mirage that mounts on a standard lens. The effect of using this filter is to create what looks like a multiple exposure.
The first image is our Dog Brock taken without the filter in place – the other three images are with the Kenko Mirage filter attached to the front of the 57mm lens. Full manual operation and in each case a single exposure. This is interesting enough to me to warrant more experimentation
There will be more examples of using this filter in the coming days. Stay tuned. The Konica camera (circa 1972) is in great condition and I will be shooting a roll of black and white film very soon using the 28, 57, and 135mm lenses that came with this kit.
