|---|---|---|---|---|
| 120mm f/2.5 | — | — | 4 | £5,213 – £50,000 |
{"overview":"The Leitz 120mm f\/2.5 Hektor is a medium-telephoto lens carrying the Hektor designation used by Leitz for several of its faster, more complex pre- and post-war optics. It was produced for the Leica rangefinder system in two mount variants, LTM (39mm screw) and M bayonet, making it compatible with screw-mount Leicas and the M-series respectively.","market_narrative":"Public auction data for this lens is extremely thin, with a single recorded UK hammer result of £22,000 in November 2015. Because that figure is a wholesale saleroom price (excluding buyer's and seller's commission) and the only reference point we have, it should be read as evidence the 120mm f\/2.5 Hektor is treated as a serious rarity rather than as a reliable market median in 2026. Anyone trying to work out what a 120mm f\/2.5 Hektor is worth today should treat this single data point as indicative only and seek further specialist comparables before transacting.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear groups carefully under a strong light for fungus, haze and any internal cleaning marks, as a lens of this rarity is often decades old and may have spent long periods in storage. Check the aperture blades for oil, confirm the iron is even and snappy, rotate the focus helicoid through its full travel to feel for stiff, dry or sticky grease, and look across the coatings for cleaning scratches or coating loss. Confirm the mount carefully — LTM and M variants are not interchangeable — and verify that any serial number, engravings and mount-specific hardware match the variant being offered.","specs":"120mm focal length, f\/2.5 maximum aperture, Hektor optical family, offered in Leica LTM screw-mount and Leica M bayonet-mount variants.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Leitz 120mm f\/2.5 Hektor worth?","a":"The only UK auction hammer price we have on record is £22,000 from November 2015; with just one data point, the current value should be confirmed against further specialist sales rather than treated as a settled market price."},{"q":"How much does a 120mm f\/2.5 Hektor sell for at auction?","a":"Our single recorded UK saleroom result is £22,000 hammer, which sits at the rarity end of the Leitz market and reflects wholesale auction level before buyer's premium is added."},{"q":"Is the LTM or M-mount version more valuable?","a":"The available sales history does not contain enough records to separate LTM and M prices for this lens, so any premium between the two variants cannot be reliably stated from the data we hold."},{"q":"What should I check before buying one?","a":"Focus first on optical condition (fungus, haze, separation, coating scratches), mechanical condition (smooth focus, clean aperture blades free of oil) and on confirming the correct mount variant, since LTM and M versions are physically different."}],"confidence":25,"reasoning":"Only one sales record is available and the SPECS block is empty, so market figures and technical detail are both heavily constrained."} |

| 120mm f/2.5 M | — | — | 0 | — |

| 125mm f/2.5 Visoflex | — | — | 17 | £162 – £1,600 |
{"overview":"The Leitz 125mm f\/2.5 Hektor is a medium telephoto lens originally produced for use with the Visoflex reflex housing on Leica screw-mount and later M bodies, with a separate LTM variant also catalogued. Its moderately fast f\/2.5 aperture and longer focal length made it suitable for portraiture, near-macro work via the reflex housing, and general telephoto duties at a time when long lenses on rangefinder bodies were difficult to focus accurately.","market_narrative":"At UK auction, hammer prices for the Hektor 125mm f\/2.5 have typically ranged from around £500 to £1,600 for usable examples, with a long-run median sitting close to £640 — these are saleroom (wholesale) results that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. As of 2026 the lens still trades in that broad band, though one exceptional outlier sold for £40,000 in June 2024, almost certainly reflecting a rare presentation or boxed-set context rather than what a standard copy is worth. Clean Visoflex examples with their reflex housing tend to sell for more than bare optical heads, and the scarcer LTM variant can command a premium when it appears.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear groups for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as the long barrel and slow turnover mean many copies have sat unused for decades. Check the aperture blades for oil and confirm the iris snaps cleanly across the range, and rotate the focus helicoid to feel for stiffness, dry grease or grit. Confirm which variant you are buying — LTM screw-mount or Visoflex head — and verify the correct mating components are present, since a Visoflex lens without its housing is significantly less useful and less valuable.","specs":"A 125mm focal length lens with a maximum aperture of f\/2.5, offered by Leitz in two distinct configurations: a direct LTM screw-mount version and a Visoflex reflex-housing version.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Leitz 125mm f\/2.5 Hektor worth at UK auction today?","a":"Most clean copies sell for between roughly £500 and £1,600 at hammer, with a typical price around £640–£700 depending on condition and whether the Visoflex housing is included."},{"q":"How much does a 125mm Hektor sell for in LTM versus Visoflex form?","a":"The Visoflex version is the more frequently encountered configuration and sets the price band shown in our sales history; the LTM variant is scarcer and tends to attract a premium when it appears at auction."},{"q":"Why did one Hektor 125mm sell for £40,000 in 2024?","a":"That result is a clear outlier against the lens's long-run value and almost certainly reflects an unusual presentation, set or provenance rather than the price a standard user copy would achieve."},{"q":"What should I check before buying a Hektor 125mm f\/2.5?","a":"Look carefully for internal haze and fungus, oil on the aperture blades, smooth focus action, and — for Visoflex examples — that the correct reflex housing is included, since this materially affects both usability and price."}],"confidence":60,"reasoning":"Eight sales records give a reasonable price band, but one extreme outlier and the absence of detailed SPECS limit certainty on variant-specific premiums and technical claims."} |

| 135mm f/2.8 Visoflex | — | — | 3 | £4,800 – £26,000 |
| 135mm f/4 | — | — | 1 | £45 – £45 |
| 135mm f/4.5 | — | — | 42 | £13 – £45,000 |
{"overview":"The Leitz 135mm f\/4.5 Hektor is a pre-war Leica rangefinder telephoto, a Max Berek design that was one of the longest focal lengths available for the early Leica system. It was intended for portraits, distant subjects and reportage work where a modest long lens was useful on a screw-mount body, and remains one of the most common vintage Leitz telephotos on the secondhand market today.","market_narrative":"In the UK auction market this Hektor is very much an entry-level Leitz lens: hammer prices for typical user-grade examples in the sales history cluster between £30 and £70, with a median around £45 and a wider recent range from £31 up to £138. Cleaner or cased examples have sold for around £400–£521 at saleroom level, while one exceptional specimen has fetched a far higher result, so variant, finish and condition heavily determine what a given copy sells for.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements carefully for haze, fungus and cleaning marks, all of which are common on lenses of this age. Check that the aperture blades are dry and snappy with no oil migration, that the focus helicoid turns smoothly without stiffness or grease crunch, and that the chrome or black paint finish matches a genuine period variant rather than a later rebuild.","specs":"Specifications are not provided in the supplied data beyond the stated 135mm focal length and f\/4.5 maximum aperture, and the mount variant is unspecified.","faq":[{"q":"How much is a Leitz 135mm f\/4.5 Hektor worth today?","a":"Most user-condition examples are worth roughly £30–£70 at UK auction in 2026, with tidier or cased copies reaching the low hundreds of pounds."},{"q":"What is a 135mm Hektor worth in clean condition?","a":"Clean, presentable examples with good glass and smooth focus have sold for around £400 at hammer, and exceptional boxed or collector-grade pieces can push higher still."},{"q":"How much does a Leitz Hektor 13.5cm f\/4.5 sell for at auction?","a":"Typical hammer prices sit in the £30–£138 band for standard copies, so most Hektors sell for under £150 unless the specific variant is unusually desirable."},{"q":"Is the 135mm Hektor a good value vintage telephoto?","a":"As one of the cheapest entry points into Leitz glass, the Hektor offers a low price relative to other pre-war Leica optics, though value depends on finding a copy with clean elements and working aperture and focus."}],"confidence":55,"reasoning":"Sales history is plentiful and consistent at the low end, but SPECS and facts are empty and the specific mount variant is unspecified, limiting how much technical detail can be stated reliably."} |

| 200mm f/2.5 | — | — | 0 | — |
| 28mm f/6.3 LTM | — | — | 17 | £400 – £4,000 |
{"overview":"The Leitz 28mm f\/6.3 Hektor is a slow wide-angle lens in Leica Thread Mount (L39 screw), produced from the mid-1930s as one of the earliest 28mm options for Leica screw-mount rangefinders. Its modest f\/6.3 maximum aperture kept the optical block compact, making it a pocketable travel and reportage lens for pre-war and early post-war Leica users.","market_narrative":"At recent UK auction, clean examples of the 28mm f\/6.3 Hektor have a hammer price (wholesale, excluding commission) clustering around £400–£532, with a median close to £440 based on the sales on file through to today in 2026. One 2006 result at £4,000 sits far outside that band and likely reflects an exceptional presentation or early variant rather than the typical market — most buyers should expect what a standard copy sells for in the low-to-mid hundreds when assessing value.","buying_guide":"Because these lenses are 70–90 years old, inspect carefully for internal haze and fungus on the small elements, coating scratches or cleaning marks on the front, and oil migration onto the aperture blades that causes sluggish stop-down action. Check that the focus helicoid turns smoothly without grinding or stiffness, that the infinity lock works, and that the brass LTM thread is clean and undamaged — nickel-finish early copies and later chrome versions can differ in collector appeal and worth.","specs":"A 28mm f\/6.3 wide-angle lens in Leica 39mm screw mount (LTM\/L39), compatible with Leica screw-mount bodies and with M bodies via an LTM-to-M adapter.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Leitz 28mm f\/6.3 Hektor LTM worth today?","a":"Recent UK auction hammer prices sit in the £400–£532 range for standard copies, with a median around £440; a single outlier at £4,000 from 2006 is not representative of current value."},{"q":"How much does a 28mm Hektor sell for at auction?","a":"Most clean, working examples sell for roughly £400 to a little over £500 at UK saleroom level, before buyer's premium is added."},{"q":"Will a 28mm Hektor fit a Leica M camera?","a":"Yes — it is an LTM screw-mount lens and mounts on any Leica M body using a standard 28mm LTM-to-M adapter, which also sets the correct frame lines."},{"q":"Is the f\/6.3 aperture a problem in use?","a":"It limits low-light work and rangefinder focusing accuracy in dim conditions, but on a 28mm lens depth of field is generous, so stopped-down daylight use remains practical."}],"confidence":55,"reasoning":"Only five sales records with one extreme outlier and no structured specs or variant data provided, so price guidance is directional and technical detail is limited to widely-known mount and focal-length facts."} |
||||
| 50mm f/2.5 LTM | — | — | 8 | £250 – £769 |
{"overview":"The Leitz 50mm f\/2.5 Summarit-M is a standard prime for the Leica M rangefinder bayonet mount, sitting in the modern M-system line-up as a more compact, slower-aperture alternative to the Summicron-M. Designed for everyday shooting on film and digital M bodies, it offers a normal field of view in a smaller, lighter package than the f\/2 and f\/1.4 fifties.","market_narrative":"At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the 50mm f\/2.5 Summarit-M have ranged from £438 to £750, with the two recorded saleroom results averaging around £594. These are wholesale hammer figures rather than dealer retail, so a clean copy bought from a shop in 2026 typically sells for more than the auction range suggests, and condition is the main factor in what each example is worth.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements under a strong light for haze, fungus and cleaning marks, and check the aperture blades for oil, which is a common ageing issue on M-mount glass. Work the focus ring through its full travel to confirm it is smooth and free of stiffness or grease migration, and look closely at the filter thread, mount flange and aperture click stops for impact damage or wear.","specs":"Key specifications from the supplied data are limited to the headline figures: a 50mm standard focal length, an f\/2.5 maximum aperture and the Leica M bayonet mount.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Leitz 50mm f\/2.5 Summarit-M worth in 2026?","a":"Based on UK auction hammer results, recent examples have sold for between £438 and £750, so a typical value today sits in the mid-hundreds depending on cosmetic and optical condition."},{"q":"How much does a 50mm f\/2.5 Summarit-M sell for at auction?","a":"The two recorded UK hammer prices are £438 (April 2026) and £750 (October 2024), giving an average sale price of around £594 before buyer's premium."},{"q":"Does the Summarit-M fit all Leica M cameras?","a":"Yes, it uses the standard Leica M bayonet, so it mounts on film M bodies and digital M rangefinders that accept M-mount lenses."},{"q":"Is the Summarit-M the same as a Summicron?","a":"No. The Summarit-M is a separate, slower f\/2.5 design, while the Summicron-M is the faster f\/2 fifty; the two are different lenses and command different prices."}],"confidence":45,"reasoning":"Only two sales records and no SPECS or variant data were supplied, so price range is thin and technical detail is intentionally limited."} |
||||
| 73mm f/1.9 LTM | — | — | 27 | £528 – £2,800 |
{"overview":"The Leitz 73mm f\/1.9 Hektor is a fast short-telephoto lens in Leica screw mount (LTM \/ L39), designed for the rangefinder Leica cameras of the interwar and early post-war era. The unusual 73mm focal length and f\/1.9 aperture made it a specialist portrait and available-light optic, and it remains one of the more distinctive Hektor designs sought by collectors today.","market_narrative":"At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 73mm Hektor have ranged from about £528 up to £2,800, with a median around £800–£900 for typical user-grade copies. Clean, complete examples with matching caps and cases are what a 73mm Hektor sells for at the top of the range, while the higher four-figure results reflect exceptional condition or early\/rare examples — sellers in 2026 should remember these are saleroom hammer figures at wholesale level, not retail asking prices, so a lens is worth noticeably less in a trade-in than the headline price suggests.","buying_guide":"Because these lenses are 70–90 years old, inspect carefully for internal haze, fungus strands, and cleaning marks on the front coating, all of which knock significant value off the price. Check that the aperture blades are dry and snappy with no oil, that focus is smooth rather than stiff or gritty, and that there is no separation visible at the cemented element edges. Confirm the lens is genuine LTM screw mount and that the correct dedicated finder or adapter is present if being sold as a complete outfit.","specs":"Short-telephoto Leitz Hektor of 73mm focal length at f\/1.9 maximum aperture, supplied in Leica 39mm screw (LTM) mount for rangefinder bodies.","faq":[{"q":"How much does a Leitz 73mm f\/1.9 Hektor sell for at UK auction?","a":"Recent hammer prices range from roughly £528 to £2,800, with most user-grade examples trading around £700–£930."},{"q":"What is a 73mm f\/1.9 Hektor worth in clean condition?","a":"A clean, haze-free copy with good glass and smooth focus is typically worth £900 or more at auction, with the best examples reaching into four figures."},{"q":"Why do prices vary so widely for this lens?","a":"The price gap reflects condition, completeness (caps, case, finder) and optical clarity — haze, fungus and cleaning marks cut the value sharply, while pristine glass drives the top results."},{"q":"Will the 73mm Hektor fit a Leica M camera?","a":"It is an LTM screw-mount lens, so it requires an L39-to-M adapter to mount on modern Leica M bodies."}],"confidence":60,"reasoning":"Nine auction data points give a reasonable price picture, but SPECS and variant data are empty so optical and production detail has been kept deliberately minimal."} |

Description:
Extremely rare original military HEFAR lens with grey-painted focusing mount (matching the special grey IIIc K Leicas), delivered to BLN Berlin on 20.09.1944. The lens is in very good cosmetic condition, complete with a matching grey-painted front cap.Similar examples are referenced in James Lager, Vol. II, p. 102 and Vol. I, pp. 90–91.It is estimated that only about 90 of these special lenses were produced, including examples not specified in Leica's delivery records. Only a handful are known to exist today, having survived the turbulence of WWII. Estimate: EUR 45,000 - EUR 50,000 |

One of four known prototypes (No. 0000313-316) of the 135mm Hektor, produced in 1959. It features an M39 screw mount for use with the VISOFLEX II and is finished partly in black paint. The lens is in very good condition and is engraved internally with the optical formula B661. See Wilhelm Albert, Geburtstage der Leitz-Foto-Konstruktionen ab 1927, page 212, for a similar lens.

Auction: Leitz Auction 44 (Lot A00834) Title: Hektor 2.5/12.5cm Direct Mount prototype
Description:
The famous prototype Hektor 12.5cm comes with a direct M39 mount and rangefinder coupling. It features sophisticated construction, sharing only a few parts with the production Visoflex-mount Hektor. Constructed from lightweight aluminium instead of brass, for better balance when mounted on a camera; its aperture ring, knurled similarly to the rigid Summicron 5cm, rotates in a different direction and is equipped with a broader focusing ring, among other features. The lens is in excellent condition, featuring very good optics. Few examples of this special lens are known to exist. This particular example is featured in Lager's 'Lenses' on page 95, alongside the slightly different model no. 0000151. It comes with a standard hood and both caps. Estimate: EUR 60,000 - EUR 70,000 |
