Philippe,

Thank you for alerting me. Sorry for the wrong link and double posting although I do not quite agree to associating the DMR with a dead white elefant ... 
Sorry for the bad joke, I know I'd love to use one.


Here the correct link for the Hektor images on the M6:

These work for me - maybe you get a slight colour cast, but in any case they are a nice tribute to Mother Nature. 

Thanks Peter


I repeat the link to the G1 Portrait with the Hektor :

The Leitz Hektor 73mm/1.9 was produced from 1931 to 1942. It is a “portrait”
lens that produces pictures in a pleasant sort of 1930s softness and shallow
DOF. Color saturation is also much lower than on modern lenses; flare is
high if not controlled. It is a challenging lens to use, especially wide
open. Except for formal portraits, it is not very useful as a short
telephoto. 70 years after it was made, it is still interesting.

At 6.3 or higher, it becomes sharper. See my pictures with the M8 at
http://www.leicaphoto.net/discus/mes...tml?1175995908

Here a typical portrait: soft, low contrast, low color saturation.
