G1 with Leitz Hektor 125/2.5

[f6cvalkyrie]

Hi !

Last week, I bought a copy of this rare lens on the evilbay for a good price.
Received a "like new" lens, very clean, absolutely no sign of use.

This lens is to be used on a Visoflex system, but I use it on my Nikon PB-4 bellows. Bellows are needed, even to reach infinity focus

Today, the M39 to Nikon adaptor arrived, and I spent my lunchbreak making some shots "with" and "of" the combination.

Here's how it all looks :

and here's some first pics with the combination

My first impression is really very positive. Very sharp lens and a nice bokeh !

Rafael, The "glow" from your phone shots are remarkably similar to the one (similar light) from the Hektor.

That's looking good Rafael, both the setup and the results. Maybe nothing for handholding though...

A couple of days ago the limited nugat's Hexanon and today this. Exotic stuff here.

Cheers,

Well, Jonas, today, I have been shooting with my extension ring #3 and focusing works just fine up to 30m. Infinity can not be reached however. I'll try other combination in the next few days ...
