The Hektor is a photographic lens design manufactured by Leica. The first "fast" lens available for the Leica I(A) was the Hektor 50mm f/2,5. Later, the design was adapted for use as a long portrait lens, available first in a 135mm f/4,5 screw-mount version and later in a 125mm f/2,5 bayonet-mount version.

[edit] Trivia

It is reported that Max Berek, who designed the original lens line for Leitz, named the "Hektor" after his dog.
