Konica used to supply LTM Hexar lens to other companies long ago
besides 35mm/50mm already have mentioned by many but I don't know
about cameras. They made 35mm camera called "Konica"(The company
name used to be Konishiroku, and you know this name means "Konishiroku
Camera" Another Japanese[not really] vocs. ;-)) but it came with lens
shutter.

This company had been known for its series of state-of-art folding cameras,
"Pearl."
and Pearls came with Hexar lens also.
