RexS Posted August 10, 2015 Share #2  Posted August 10, 2015 Hello,  I have used the 135mm Elmar on the M8, the Hektor should work as well.  The screw-in 1.4X magnifier is very helpful in focusing.  Although there are no frame lines for 135mm but the focusing patch approximates the field of  view.  I think you mean the 125mm Hektor or 200mm Telyt?  Both are dedicated to the visoflex system and can be used with the M8.   I hope this helps.  Rex.

fotograf-e Posted August 18, 2015 Share #3 Â Posted August 18, 2015 I tried using my Hektor lens the other day. I just use the actual focus area as the framing guide. Granted you get a little more but it's a good start point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyonepointsix Posted August 18, 2015 Share #4  Posted August 18, 2015 135mm focal length is not popular with rangefinder users these days, prices tend to be low for used ones.  Spring 2015 by fiftyonepointsix, on Flickr  I use the 135/2.8 Tele-Elmarit with "goggles" for the M8. The lens brings up the 90mm framelines and the "goggles" change them to a 135mm field-of-view. I picked this lens up in a trade, have seen ones similar condition (Mint-) for ~$300.
