Thank you Erik,
I will have to figure around a bit as I use Nikon Scan for Coolscan 5000. I hope it has same feature as the Epson's.

Slightly off topic, but also the Hektor 73mm deserves a place under the sun.

That's a marvellous photograph, Erik. Great range of light and lovely interplay between the two kids. Also, a very interesting child's trike.

I found I like the slightly soft look of the Hektor 5cm with extension tubes for macro shots.

What is the current market price of a clean Hektor, and is it even possible to find a clean one after all these years? I can never get enough 50mm lenses with character.

After going through this thread, I was curious enough to check ebay for this lens and I was shocked with asking price is in range 700-$1,000

I am not surprised. Such RFF threads have results. Potential buyers/sellers see possibilities that were unknown to them before they saw such a thread.

They were never that common

You still sometimes see them on a camera for less than this for both.
(which is a truly awful piece of English!)

They've always been expensive and collectible. It was Leica's first fast lens, and not made for long.

It is a good available light lens too.

Rick, I thought it was great shot too but felt that the 82nd Airborne looked too well fed. Then I remembered where they came from...look at bunch of British servicemen from the mid forties and by comparison they appear to have been starved!

Oh, I agree, especially when you think about the most common sizes of original uniform pieces; Like size 36 Jackets. But yes, the US Army was the best fed army at the time.
On the other hand it's a good thing that there's not much weight and age discrimination in the re-enactment world.
I shot some film with my user IIIc and the Hektor over the weekend at the Hembrug (former) weapons & munitions plant. I hope to get round to developing them somewhere later this week.
If small tangents are allowed; I'm still trying to get the hang of the 2,8cm f/6.3 Hektor lens.

Too many modern bits in the background though
