The Leitz Hektor 25mm T2.1 Cine Lens (Leica L) offers a wide-angle perspective with a playful, subject-focused character for full-frame cinematography. Inspired by the nuanced optical qualities of classic cinema lenses, it delivers soft, indirect flares and a gentle Petzval-type effect that creates natural focus fall-off, drawing attention to the subject while maintaining immersive environmental context. As part of the six-lens HEKTOR series, the 25mm features interchangeable Leica L mounts for versatile camera compatibility, matched gearing for seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems, and precision mechanical construction built to withstand the demands of production. Perfect for narrative scenes, environmental storytelling, and creative visual exploration, the HEKTOR 25mm T2.1 blends expressive cinematic personality with modern technical reliability.
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.
Full-Frame Lens with Interchangeable Mount
- Boasting a 47.8mm image circle, this 25mm T2.1 prime lens covers full-frame camera sensors.
- It comes with a Leica L lens mount that can be swapped out by the user with separately available Canon RF, Sony E, and Nikon Z mounts.
Consistency Across Series
This 25mm 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. Like all the compact, lightweight HEKTOR primes except the 18mm, this 25mm incorporates a front 77mm filter thread.
Dual Focus Marks
The HEKTOR lenses have focus markings in both feet and meters for worldwide compatibility.
