Actually, Konica made some very good lenses, some of the best for the period, not just the 40mm f/1.8. I have several that I use with excellent results on my Nikon bodies.

Konica Hexanon lenses were and are great. I've owned about three of this particular lens. It was very easy to modify the mount to fit the original Panasonic and Olympus 4/3 camera's (prior to mirrorless). I'm sure there is an adapter available to mount this lens to micro 4/3 mirrorless. 35mm equivalent is 80mm, which makes this an excellent portrait lens. Fairly easy to find on eBay.
