Full-Frame Lenses with a Playful Character
Capture a playful, subject-centric look using your full-frame camera and the HEKTOR 18mm T2.1 Lens from Leitz Cine. Drawing on classic cinema lens optics, this prime is one in a series of six that feature interchangeable Sony E mounts, matched gearing, indirect flares, and a gentle Petzval-type effect with subtle focus fall-off.
Gentle Petzval Effect
The HEKTOR primes create images with a lower-resolution center, subtle focus fall-off, and a gentle, swirly Petzval look that draws viewers in yet is not distracting.
Warm Look with Colorful Flares
New coatings on the HEKTOR primes produce the trademark Leitz natural, warm tones while enabling colorful flares and maintaining contrast across the frame.
Interchangeable Mount
- Boasting a 47.8mm image circle, this 18mm T2.1 prime lens covers full-frame camera sensors.
- It comes with a Sony E lens mount that can be swapped out by the user with separately available Canon RF, Leica L, and Nikon Z mounts.
Consistency Across Series
This 18mm lens shares the same form factor, lens gear position, focus rotation, and 80mm outside front diameter as the other lenses in the series. This enables quick lens changes when using a matte box or FIZ (focus/iris/zoom) controls. The focus barrel features 120° of rotation for smooth, accurate focus pulls. Unlike the rest of the compact, lightweight HEKTOR primes, this 18mm does not have a front 77mm filter thread.
Dual Focus Marks
The HEKTOR lenses have focus markings in both feet and meters for worldwide compatibility.
