I joined the Hexar cult in the mid-nineties and, concerned that the camera might not be in production long, bought a second body while they were still available. My original Hexar body never quit working so I never needed to use the backup Hexar. It is this unused Hexar that I'm offering for sale for $500 shipped in the US. With a new battery installed, the camera works perfectly. The camera has never been on a tripod and still has the plastic covering on the baseplate.
This Hexar was originally equipped with the autodate back, which annoyed me because I feared I'd accidentally turn it on and have dates printed on my negatives! Konica customer service was really excellent in those days, and they supplied me with a conventional back for the camera, which is currently installed. I'll include the autodate back, as well; FWIW, I understand the Autodate version is rare.
Also, Konica offered a replacement faux leather covering for the camera, which was a lot more attractive and had a better feel than the standard black rubber covering. I installed this upgraded covering on both my Hexars.
I don't have the original flash unit for this camera. I broke my original one and had to pirate the flash unit from my backup camera.
If you're not familiar with the Konica Hexar, here are a couple of links to pages that discuss this camera:
