All of the colors really work in this one for me.
Riley,
The Hexanon really has beautiful bokeh. Is that an M lens?

Here are some I would like to share from a fantastic trip to India in 2006.
The children were so delightful and curious, who could resist??
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 135/2 - 1/2000 @ f/2)
Far from the gruff, hasty street vendors I am used to, those I met in India were extremely friendly.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/320 @ f/2.5)
A young vendor, with a warm smile is already well-versed in the family business.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/200 @ f/2)
Taxi meters from a different era.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/80 @ f/1.8)
Even the roaming packs of street dogs were curious and friendly.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/200 @ f/5)
Folks gather at the neighbourhood tea stand in the dawn light before work.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/1250 @ f/1/4)
A father proudly posing with his daughter.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/1250 @ f/1.4)
Some folks invited me in to their homes.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 35/1.4 - 1/250 @ f/1.4)
Children on their way to school delighted to be the star attraction.
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 135/2 - 1/2000 @ f/2.2)
A man waiting for a pickup of canisters wishes me well. Namaste!
(Canon 1D Mark II w/EF 135/2 - 1/1600 @ f/2)
Best regards,
Brad

no its not an M mount, there are 3 kinds of Konica lenses I know of, each with different registers. Since 4/3rds register is a shortish 38.8mm the AR series are pretty close, they even fit on the mount but need a little padding out and a lockout ident drilled into the lens.
Konica AR bayonet 40.70
Konica F bayonet 40.50
Konica RF Hexar screw 27.95
Helen
No i didnt use an adapter, dont think there is one. Actually I havent finished modifying it to fit yet, but just had to try it out. It has no ident hole, no cardboard and no baffle (which supposed to increase contrast wide open), mine is a bit soft and low contrast wide open, so i am looking forward to this. Bit hard to handle but we got by
This is the last version of this lens with a rubber focussing ring

Fantastic, warm portraits Brad!
Here are a couple from today. Bubbles and bokeh with the Vivitar Series 1 135mm f/2.3 wide open on an Olympus OM-2n, Fuji Superia 400:
