It is a great lens. A hood of some kind is recommended not only for flare, but also to avoid fingers getting into photos. I have the expensive, but rare and lovely SOOBK hood. Even with the hood I sometimes managed to get my fingers into the frame. https://www.macfilos.com/2016/05/24/2016-5-20-leica-28mm-summaron-f56-little-old-guy-goes-modernperhaps/ William Apologies, I got mixed up here. My review is of the Summaron. I also have the Hektor, which is not as good, but is a fine lens nevertheless. I recommend the use of the SOOHN hood with this lens for the same reasons as I have given already. William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

besca6 Posted March 29, 2019 Share #22 Posted March 29, 2019 Thanks to everyone who responded to my first post, and sorry but I have always been a silent visitor of the various forums, returning to the 2.8cm hector, I am a little undecided whether to fall back on an Orion 15 or wait for a good opportunity for the venerable hector, I heard good things about the Orion 15 and I would have seen one at 150 euros.

luigi bertolotti Posted March 29, 2019 Share #23 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Orion 28... .. I had one 35-40 years ago.. with my first RF camera (Zorky 4K) : was a good lens and I have some 20x25 prints made with it… what can I say ? Frankly, as far as I remember, really comparable to the Hektor… and it costs a lot less : Hektor is "venerable" , Orion is "Russian" and that's all… and if it's true that Hektor has the "Leitz Wetzlar" appeal, the cyryllic writings of the Orion have a certain mood of their own… (by contrast, I had also a Russian 85 f2 for RF... don't remember the name…… and it was really a modest performer compared to, say, a Summicron 90... what I remember is that it was decent in B&W, very uncontrasty in color) Edited March 29, 2019 by luigi bertolotti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecole Posted March 30, 2019 Share #24 Posted March 30, 2019 Since I already showed an image of the "American" SOOHN and following mention above of the SOOBK, here is also an image of this hood.

Kleinkamera Posted April 3, 2019 Share #28 Posted April 3, 2019 I like my 1939 Hektor 28 f6.3 but of course one must accept it for what it is... very soft in the extreme corners. Otherwise, very nice for its age. Here's one on film: Handheld, at about f9 I think. Eastman Double-X in Rodinal. Scanned on Epson V750 flatbed, no sharpening applied. Welcome, dear visitor!

A people who uses a Hektor 2,8cm surely can enjoy our community... I have just bought a Hektor 2.8, on a quick test on a SL, there are 4 black corners. Very much want to take a broader test when weather more stable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
