Advertisement Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Hi digibob, Take a look here Wetzlar Hektor f=13.5cm 1:4.5 lens. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lars_bergquist Posted May 16, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted May 16, 2007 If it is in M mount, then it does fit. If not, a bayonet ring will fix that. The old Hektor (of 1935 vintage if I remember right) is acceptably sharp on axis, fairly soft outside, and stopping down does not improve matters much. Â The 1960 135 mm f:4 Elmar was a competent 135 mm lens, the 1965 Tele-Elmar is sensational, in practice nearly as good as the current Apo-Telyt. The lack of an 135 mm finder frame in the M8 does of course make this moot. Â The old man from the Age of 135 mm Lenses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
