The Konica Hexar is a 35 mm fixed-lens,fixed focal length autofocus camera which was produced through the 1990s. It was introduced to the market in 1993. While styled like a rangefinder camera, and intended for a similar style of photography, in specification it is more like a larger "point and shoot" camera. The Konica Hexar enjoys something of a "cult status" among film camera aficionados becauseof the quality of its lens, rangefinder-style ergonomics andinteresting and useful operating modes (notably its "silent mode").
