About the Konica AR#

Konica's Hexanon SLR bayonet — one of the shortest SLR flanges.

Adapting basics#

A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 40.50 mm, Konica AR lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Four Thirds, Minolta V-mount, Nikon S / Contax RF, Contax RF-mount, Hasselblad XPan, Contax G. Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as Canon FD, Canon FL, Start, Minolta SR / MC / MD, Fujica X, Petri Bayonet, Canon EF, Canon EF-S.
