It's the Elmar that represents the standard L mount lenses, but the faster Hektor is popular, too. Compared to the common Elmar that has been produced for a long time, it's hard to find the Hektor in good condition because of the small number of production. This can't be helped because it's an antique aged 70 to 80 years old. The Hektors that we can get today are generally soft, but it's not too soft like the Thambar or the Hektor 7.3cm. So, it's easier to use and it will bring the real old lens depiction for those who want be relaxed and shoot.
The winding corner bokeh is something we can never get from modern lenses. There's only one manner for using an old lenses. Just shoot wide open. It's nonsense to step down for improved picture quality.
The soft depiction is just sweet. The bokeh isn't uniform and the falloff is dramatic. This is something I should be happy about. Am I sick?
I guess the kuukikan, or the airy feeling, is realized by the light spreading. But, each lens is in different condition and they depict differently. I wonder how many lenses I should buy and test... By the way, this state is called "the lens swamp."
Why can't we be satisfied with one lens? Our life is the way to search for the answer... this is my excuse to look for another lens in anticipation of once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Where art thou? The beautiful Hektor!
