Optics 7+/10
No fungus, separation.
There are marks on the lens which is common for these.
There are some cleaning marks on the front but considering its uncoated early design, it is still nice.

This Hektor is much more desirable being A FAST 50mm in its time.
I can not stress the rarity of this lens. Really a must have collectible and the first rangefinder coupled attempt for Leicas Famous 50MM FAST F2.5 lens!
