The Hexar AF is one of my favorite cameras. I am still learning all its secrets.
The lens is often compared favorably to Leica, with good reason.

$90 for CLA, seals and foam, 1.5V battery conversion and new leatherette, return postage included,
so a little more than Eric charges. If the work is good I will post repairer's contact information here.

FWIW Greg Weber quoted $165 for the same work...

Chris, the T4 and AR lenses are one of my favorites! Beware the T4 has the
lousiest meter in the Konica line. I have two T4's with shot meters and either
use a handheld or Sunny 16 for metering:

picture of the two cameras:

the camera on the right has the Hexanon UC 80-200 zoom, fine performer

samples:

all but the 2nd shot were taken with the UC zoom, 2nd shot was a test shot
using the 3.5/55 Macro Hexanon. First three shots were using expired KG100
from 1997. lol 4th shot was Fomapan 400, home dev'd using Barry's 2-Bath,
home brewed from raw chemicals. Last shot is cheap Walgreens 400 film.

Looking forward to your efforts with the T4!

I have an Auto S2.
I really need to run a roll of film through this beauty.
