Thank you so much Pete for your very kind words and having initiated this ever so active thread ! Have not heard of Dirk for a long time . I hope he's doing well . After recently having shared here some older photos taken with the 35 UC Hexanon I should never have sold ... I just managed to acquire again a nice copy of this gem of a lens ! Here a couple of recent shots taken with a 1967 35mm Summilux v2 on Portra 800 and Leica M-A: Cheers JM Edited September 6, 2022 by JMF 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to ask you how you dated it to 1950, is there a serial number related list somewhere on the web or any other sorcery? IIRC mine came with an original scrap of paper (some kind of delivery note, now stored somewhere in the basement) with the date scribbled on it. Probably not by coincidence, the serial number of my copy is 50xxx. I have seen 48xxx, 49xxx serials, etc. so it's likely that (at least for this lens), the first two digits correspond to the year of production, just like FSU lenses. It's a low-contrast lens and a CLA does make a world of difference. I had my copy serviced in the Netherlands 😉. A word of caution if you are going the DIY route: it would seem that getting the tiny elements properly aligned is rather tricky. Enjoy your new toy! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmzimelka Posted September 8, 2022 Share #9596 Posted September 8, 2022 Today I just had to fix my Hektor 13.5cm f/4.5. It was very stiff and grindy to focus, and had a fairly bad front focus. It took a few attempts as some threads just didn't want to come apart, and I was essentially taking it apart blind. I didn't find any instructions. Surprisingly, the helicoids were all aluminium, with exception of the brass rangefinder focus ring. It's definitely not a sharp lens, especially off centre. It has a lot of colour aberrations, but it renders fairly nicely in good light. Probably a good B&W portrait lens when. Some images shot with the M11, all wide open at f/4.5. Welcome, dear visitor!

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The M10R renders different from the M240 I previously had. The RAW inherently is less corrected for enhanced sharpness: my lenses give a smoother rendering on the M10-R! 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
