This $20 vintage lens is out of this world! DIY project.

Today we are taking a closer look at a vintage rangefinder lens from Konica - the Hexanon 45mm f1.8
This lens is absolutely incredible and can fit everyone's budget. It's crazy sharp, compact, lightweight and has great colors. One of my all time favorites!
Parts mentioned in the video:

The M42 to NEX 13-18mm focusing helicoid is currently sold-out everywhere, but you can use these two parts which make up the same helicoid:
M42 to M42, 12-17mm focusing helicoid - https://ebay.us/bWMe8g
M42 to NEX slim 1mm adapter - https://ebay.us/hRlFmd
Attach the slim adapter to the helicoid and you have a 13-18mm M42 to NEX helicoid!
