Leitz HEKTOR
Equipment description
The HEKTOR lenses are built in the style of the 1980s and 90s, using only spherical elements to create some of the older feeling characteristics. Inspired by classic M lenses from the 1930s and 1950s, as well as Petzval lenses, the look blends together dynamic flares, field curvature, fall off and spherical aberration into something that is wholly unique while feeling familiar. Modern touches include coatings that control veiling glare better than older lenses as well as significantly reduced chromatic aberration.
The Leitz HEKTOR lenses are a series of six full frame prime lenses that support multiple formats through user-interchangeable mirrorless mounts (E, L, RF, Z, G*). The focal lengths are 18, 25, 35, 50, 73 and 100mm, all at T2.1. Each lens is fully manual with matched focus and iris ring spacing for quick lens changes. The 120° focus rotation makes them easy to work with by hand as well.
