Closest focus is only 23cm from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the top of the camera.

Already wide open picture sharpness is fine. Stopped down it's really good and very contrasty. The lens has good close focussing capablities.

Konica AR lenses are 40.5mm FFD. This is shorter than most of the others, except M39. So the adapters are shorter as well. On top of this, AR lenses are very compact.
