Hektor 50mm T2.1

Leitz Hektor Prime 50mm T2.1 The Leitz Hektor Prime 50mm T2.1 delivers a true normal perspective, closely matching the way the human eye perceives the world. With a close focus of 0.5m (1’9”) and a 44.6° horizontal field of view on full frame, the 50mm excels at dialogue, portrait-style framing, and naturalistic coverage. Its balanced rendering makes it one of the most versatile focal lengths in the Hektor set, equally suited for controlled narrative work or spontaneous documentary shooting. The Hektor Prime Line The Hektor Prime line embodies Leitz’s philosophy of “character first, quality first.” Built in Germany alongside Leitz’s flagship cinema lenses, the Hektor series spans six full-frame focal lengths from 18mm to 100mm, all at T2.1. Lightweight and compact with an 80mm front diameter (77mm filter thread on all but the 18mm), these primes feature matched gear positions, smooth 120° focus rotation, and a rendering style inspired by over a century of Leica optics. With warm color, pleasing falloff, and a playful character, Hektor primes bring artistry and reliability to productions seeking a distinctive look without compromise.
