"Leitz Cine has officially launched the HEKTOR series, a new line of prime lenses designed specifically for mirrorless cameras. Taking inspiration from the original Leica Hektor lenses while being built entirely from the ground up, the HEKTOR collection pays homage to the past while serving the demands of modern creators. Available in six focal lengths-18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 72mm, and 100mm-each lens delivers consistent performance across the set with a fast T2.1 aperture."
"One of the most compelling aspects of the HEKTOR line is its adaptability. Leitz designed these lenses to support most major mirrorless camera systems through user-interchangeable mounts. The HEKTOR range accommodates E-mount, L-mount, RF-mount, and Z-mount cameras, ensuring that creators can integrate them seamlessly into existing setups without needing to invest in an entirely new ecosystem. This flexibility makes HEKTOR particularly appealing for professionals who work across different brands or studios."
Leitz Cine launched the HEKTOR series, a ground-up line of prime lenses inspired by original Leica Hektor designs and M- and Petzval-style optics. The collection includes six focal lengths—18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 72mm, and 100mm—each offering a fast T2.1 aperture and consistent performance across the set. HEKTOR lenses target hybrid photographers and cinematographers by blending Leica heritage with cinematic mechanics for both stills and motion. User-interchangeable mounts support E-, L-, RF-, and Z-mount systems, enabling cross-system use without changing ecosystems. The lenses deliver warmer tones, subtle focus fall-off, and colorful flares for a distinct cinematic look.
