Leitz Cine HEKTOR 100mm T2.1 100mm
The 100mm T2.1 delivers a classic look with a gentle Petzval effect and colorful, indirect flares across a full-frame 47.8mm image circle. Its lightweight 953g build and interchangeable Sony E and L-mounts offer practical flexibility, while the 120° focus rotation and consistent gear positions streamline manual pulling. This lens is best for portrait cinematographers seeking character-driven, warm-toned imagery with subtle edge falloff.
