Leica Hektor 2.5/85 projection lens sent on October 18, 2023 (0:23) by Warszawski. 29 comments, 819 views.

1/160 f/2.5, ISO 100, hand held.

Leica Hektor 2.5/85 projection lens used in Leica Prado slide projectors. I bought it for 25 euros and adapted it to work with the Sony A7. It is worth adding that the optical system of this lens is identical to the Leica Thambar 90mm f2.2 lens, the price of which is approximately EUR 6,000. This Hector projector lens has no aperture, of course, but with the Thambar lens everyone uses an aperture of 2.2 and even uses the included filter to blur the image even more. My current profile photo is also taken with this set (the mirror in the stairwell)

Beautiful floral shot, with magical blur, nice details and colors. I am more and more impressed how old lenses turn out to be real jewels. Meditate people, meditate.
