Hi Erik, thanks for the photos, beautifull pictures!

Please tell me if this hektor is like the elmar 50 in sharpness?

Bye!

Stopped down - f/9 - it is very much like the Elmar, but more prone to flare. Use a good, deep shade.
At bigger apertures - f/2.5-f/4.5 - the corners are not sharp, but full aperture can be used. I will post some examples.

The 50mm Hektor and the 73mm Hecktor are two lenses I just could never get on with. Maybe I had poor examples but they are long gone and fetched good money now spent on more useable items.

This is so beautiful--it must be Russia.

 

[Erik van Straten]

Thanks Santafecino, yes Russia, no, the Republic of Belarus, to be precise. This too:

A lens with the name of a defeated Trojan hero, his corpse dragged behind the chariot of his conqueror, Summikron.

I use a FIKUS too.
