A non precise laboratory compare of the Konica M Hexagon 90mm vs the Leica Elmarit M 90mm Lenses.
I saw this minty looking Konica and picked it up for a good price even though I already had the Elmarit M... I just could not resist trying it (I have 7 day take it back)... Anyway I considered selling the Leica and keeping this Konica if it was of comparable quality.
So I set up a tripod, got a few objects and shot both lenses wide open with AE with the M240. I did a white card WB and manual lens selection. These are as they came out of the camera in RAW format and exported to JPG with LR5 they are full frame and 100% crops.
There might be small variations of focus area as I had to refocus each lens, each time I changed lenses... I tried to focus on the exact same place using the LV and the focus aid.
What do you think? Is one of them noticeably better than the other?
