Used Hektor Rapid 27cm F/1.4 | C-mount | U8

The Leica Hektor Rapid 2.7cm f/1.4 is an exceptionally rare vintage cine lens originally produced by Ernst Leitz Wetzlar for 16mm motion picture cameras. Built in Germany with classic all-metal construction, this fast C-mount lens is highly sought after for its distinctive rendering and historic Leica optics pedigree. Wide open at f/1.4, the lens produces a dreamy, low-contrast image with glowing highlights and beautifully soft focus transitions that modern lenses rarely replicate. Stopped down, the Hektor Rapid sharpens considerably while still retaining its rich vintage character and cinematic depth. Its compact design adapts easily to modern mirrorless systems including Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Leica L, and Nikon Z using the proper C-mount adapter. Due to its rarity, optical character, and connection to early Leica cinema engineering, clean used examples remain highly collectible among cinematographers, vintage lens enthusiasts, and Leica collectors alike.
