Infrared Performance Notes

The score only starts to dip at f/8 here, but it doesn't continue to drop like most lenses, so it's slightly better for IR than the score might suggest. It does slightly better than the Hexanon version is my test stopped down. Although I should point out that the Hexanon 28/3.5 that I have is the latest version (based on this optical design), that replaced this lens and not the original version that was made by Konica themselves.
