For visitors outside China

Hello! Welcome to Hexanon.net.

English is not my mother language, so I will not bulid a English site for Konica fans. Sorry for that!

It need some wisdom for you to understand the followings, and it is important. Please read with patience.

About the copyright and intellectual property:

The following pages are translated from Konicafiles.com, and authorized by the author.

Please visit original pages on Konicafiles.com which is a outstanding site!

Many images and comments of F-mount lens and cameras are authorized by YSYYU from Taiwan. Some rare camera equipment images are authorized by 华山哥哥(Huashangege) from China. They have been pointed out on each pages.

There are still some images that aren’t mine including:

  • Images reproduced from Konica literature and promotional material;
  • Images downloaded from sellers on Ebay.com, Taobao.com, and Yahoo.jp;
  • Images reproduced from photo magazines published 30-50 years ago.

There are Fair Use guidelines in many countries including China, which allowed using copyrighted materials without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holders.

I think my use of those images falls under Fair Use guidelines for any or several of the following reasons:

  • This site is non-profit and its purpose is strictly informative;
  • The said images have already been widely disseminated and publicly available for several decades;
  • The use of such images here will have no effect on their potential market value and will not entail any financial loss for their copyright holders;
  • The community of amateur photographers and persons interested in photography will benefit from the presence of the said images here.

If copyright holders to any images on this site feel that the presence of their images here infringes on their rights, I will remove such images at once when asked to do so. I can be reached at si_chow@msn.com.

I have try my best to point out those images on each pages.

Other texts, images are the property of me. But you are free to use them without inform me (only non-profit use).
