Leitz Cine GmbH is expanding the compatibility of their popular HEKTOR line of mirrorless prime lenses for cine and photo use with the introduction of an interchangeable G mount. The ability to use the lenses with the Fujifilm G mount optimizes coverage of Fujifilm’s GFX Eterna 55 extra large format cine camera as well as the GFX100 series of mirrorless digital cameras. 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.

Customers can purchase the lens directly with a G mount, or purchase the G mount as a separate part and change the mount themselves. According to Leitz, changing mounts on the HEKTOR lenses is relatively quick and easy with just a few tools. Other mount options for the lenses include: Sony E, Leica L, Canon RF, and Nikon Z.
