Ellie ★★★★★

The scratches are mentioned in the listing, and honestly they add a bit of character—the bokeh on this old Hektor is still gorgeous, with that classic swirly look. Focus ring is silky smooth for a lens this age, and it mounts solidly on my screw-mount body.

Aurora ★★★★★

I was worried about the scratch description, but once mounted, the focus throw is so smooth and precise it’s easy to overlook the glass issues for that classic vintage look.

John ★★★★★

The scratches on the glass had me nervous, but mounted on my screw-mount body, the focus ring turns with that old-school, silky dampness you just don't get anymore. Sure, the coating's a bit hazy, but wide open at f/2.5 the rendering is exactly the soft, dreamy look I was hoping for.
