Leitz Cine Introduces Fujifilm G Mount for HEKTOR Lenses
Leitz Cine GmbH has announced the addition of a Fujifilm G mount to its HEKTOR line of mirrorless prime lenses, significantly broadening their compatibility with medium and extra-large format systems. The new mount allows filmmakers and photographers to utilize HEKTOR lenses on Fujifilm's GFX Eterna 55 cine camera and the GFX100 series. While originally designed for full-frame sensors, the HEKTOR lenses feature an expansive image circle that supports traditional cinema aspect ratios on larger sensors with minimal cropping. The G mount is available both as a pre-installed option and as a standalone interchangeable part, joining existing Sony E, Leica L, Canon RF, and Nikon Z mount options.
"As formats and camera systems continue to evolve, we are happy to be working with so many manufacturers to ensure that the creatives using their cameras have access to some of the most exciting new lenses like the Leitz HEKTOR series," said Managing Director Rainer Hercher.
While designed initially for full frame coverage, the HEKTOR lenses create a much larger image circle. And while not all focal lengths can be used in full sensor open gate mode, they do support the traditional cinema aspect ratios with only a small amount of edge cropping required on the widest focal lengths.
