Leica Hektor 2.5/85 projection lens sent on October 18, 2023 (0:23) by Warszawski. 33 comments, 789 views.

1/200 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)

Gabribocc, Fabio F77 thank you very much for your entries and visit, I wish you both a nice day :-)
I answer the question: I used a Sony E to M42 adapter, unscrewed the center and inserted the lens with an approximately 2 cm piece of plastic pipe providing the necessary distance. I connected everything with black insulating tape. And the result is photos taken so quickly. I will try to build a filter with a dot MrGreen

I am glad that I could inspire you to this search. Sometimes it's worth adopting and loving old, forgotten lenses that bring a lot of joy to the photographer and then the viewer. Have a nice day and thanks for visiting :-)
