Peter, what I know about the 60/1,2 is that it is a modern version of the old
60/1,2, upgraded coatings, etc. The Konica lenses are good - I have the 50/2,4
in Leica screw mount form, a very creditable lens, collapsible mount, 6
elements at least as good as the new 50/2,8 Elmar(it) and better wide open.
The 35/2 is a reworked version of the 35/2 from the Hexar camera. The first
attempt to do that lens in screwmount was a disappointment, but they have
redone it for the Hexar-2. I dont know anything about the 28/2,8 yet.
