Hi,

I recently bought and received a "like new" Leitz Hektor 125/2.5 from the evilbay.
This lens (M39) was designed to be used on Visoflex systems, but I adapt it to the G1 via my Nikon PB-4 bellows (even for infinity focus, bellows or extension ring are mandatory).
Today, the adapter M39 Nikon arrived, so I made some shoot for you.

Here's how it all looks :





and here's some samples :

Nice!
I saw this lens yesterday at the camera fair, but they asked 400 Euros for it so I stepped back.

Hi, Orio,

400 Euro would be OK for such a lens, at least if it is in good condition.
Minties often go for +/- 1000 $ on the evilbay.

Hi,

thanks for all your nice comments.

Today, I have used the lens in combination with my #3 extension ring (Nikon), and I can focus from closer than marked till 30meters.
That makes it an ideal set for handheld shooting of close-ups.

If I use my #2 and #1 ring together, than I focus beyond infinity Very Happy

Here's a few samples with the #3







All on G1 shot wide open. I really love the bokeh and the sharpness of this lens !
