Hi, this is the 'about this board' thread, so you might want to put your posts elsewhere... maybe in 'off topic' since this is a Pentax place, but maybe someone here knows about if Konica adapts to anything. You might try looking for a Konica fan site, they made some cameras people still love.
To my recollection, that series had its own mount, which went away when Konica stopped making its own SLRs and merged with Minolta, so there's certainly nothing current that'll fit them. (Minolta, themselves, changed mounts when they went autofocus.)
Some combinations of cameras and lenses can adapt, (and without being too much of a hassle/compromising quality) but rarely so with bayonets, and it's probably just more worthwhile to obtain your favorites in a mount that fits a nice digital.
If you like old lenses, though, you're in a good place, Pentax digitals work well with classic screw-mount lenses, which are widely available and cheap and lovely, (for the price of an inexpensive adapter,) and work directly with the K mount bayonet lenses, ...between the lot, you could probably find something you like at least as well as your Hexanons and that won't need as much fuss about adapters.
The moderators might move these posts, keep an eye on your 'private messages,' those will say where they went, if so.
