Leitz Hektor

Prime - Spherical - Full Frame

product details

The Leitz Hektor primes are a modern cine lens set introduced by Leitz (formerly Leica) to provide large-format coverage in a compact, lightweight form factor. Designed and built in Germany by the same teams behind the SUMMILUX-C and HUGO lines, these brand-new compact prime lenses work with cameras using mirrorless mounts โ€“ bringing high quality optical standards to less expensive camera systems. Their look is inspired by classic M lenses from the 1930s and 1950s, as well as Petzval lenses. Pleasing characteristics like dynamic flare, field curvature and spherical aberration contribute to a feeling that is unique, yet familiar. The set includes focal lengths: 18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 73mm, and 100mm, all at T2.1. Available for rental or sub-rental at Cine Visuals.

Leitz Hektor

Image Fidelity & Focus

The Hektor primesโ€™ optical rendering emphasizes natural sharpness without harshness, medium contrast, and faithful color. Skin tones are smooth and organic, with gentle falloff and dimensionality. Chromatic aberration is minimal, thanks to modern coatings. Image fidelity is high, but with a filmic smoothness rather than sterile sharpness. Non-aspherical designs produce these characteristics naturally. Modern touches include coatings that control veiling glare better than older lenses, as well as significantly reduced chromatic aberration.

Handling & Adaptability

The lenses are compact and lightweight compared to Leitzโ€™s larger Summilux-C or Thalia lines, improving ergonomics for handheld, Steadicam, or gimbal use. Mechanics are cine-standard, with consistent gear placement and reliable focus throw. User interchangeable mount options include E, L, RF and Z for maximum flexibility.

Flare & Bokeh

Flares are subtle, controlled, and cinematic. Bokeh is clean and round, maintaining subject isolation without distraction.

Image Circle

They cover Full Frame and beyond (46.5mm image circle), making them compatible with LF and VistaVision cameras.

Cinematic Heritage

According to Leitz, the look of the Hektors was based on that of lenses from the past 100+ years of cinema and photography history. The name HEKTOR is a reference to the original Leica Hektor lenses created in the 1930s by legendary lens designer Max Berek for Leicaโ€™s original screw mount 35mm cameras. A silver anodized finish, and the inclusion of a 73mm, an iconic lens in the original line, pay tribute.
