The Konica Hexar AF Date (1994) is a variant of the Hexar AF (1993) with an integrated quartz date-imprinting back. Optically and mechanically identical to the standard Hexar AF: the Konica Hexanon 35mm f/2 (7 elements, 6 groups), active+passive autofocus, aperture priority and program modes, the signature silent mode, and leaf shutter syncing at all speeds. The date back adds quartz-clocked date/time imprinting in the lower-right frame corner, selectable between date formats.

Before you buy used
- **LCD bleed** - the top-plate date display is prone to bleed with age; check in natural light.
- **Date back battery** - the date back may have its own small cell (varies by variant); verify it accepts a charge.
- **Date back seal** - the back hinge light seal can crack; inspect for leaks.
- **Autofocus accuracy** - some Hexar AFs front-focus at minimum distance (0.6 m); test with a target at close range.
- **Battery contacts** - CR123A contacts corrode; clean with isopropyl before testing.
- **Silent mode** - engage and disengage; a clean unit transitions smoothly; grinding indicates worn advance mechanism.
- **Lens haze / fungus** - store dry; the 35/2 is susceptible to fungus in humid storage.
- **Light seals** - minimal foam; replace.
