I'm waiting for the heat to die down a bit. I've been shooting with the 2.8cm Hektor and a 3.5cm Summaron lately. I'm beginning to find that I use both equally as often. I had a slight mishap with the 2.8cm, it came with a separating first doublet. A trip to Focal Point cured it of that problem. I tested the hektor against a friend's 2.8cm Summaron. There is a slight difference in the mid range contrast, the Summaron has a slightly greater range there. I found that for my size printing, 6x8, it made that difference too slight to matter. I use Neopan 1600, at 800, as it shoots like a fine grain film from an earlier era with those lenses.
