From Leitz Cine: 

> The Leitz HEKTOR lenses prioritize two things: image character and build quality. In approaching this new format we decided not to adapt or copy any contemporary lenses from Leitz or Leica. Instead, we looked backward, exploring Leica's 100-year history of photography optics and finding a great deal of inspiration, especially in some lenses from the 1930s, 50s and 70s. The HEKTOR lenses are built in the style of the 1980s and 90s, using only spherical elements to create some of the older feeling characteristics.
>
> Inspired by classic M lenses from the 1930s and 1950s, as well as Petzval lenses, the look blends together dynamic flares, field curvature, fall off and spherical aberration into something that is wholly unique while feeling familiar. Modern touches include coatings that control veiling glare better than older lenses as well as significantly reduced chromatic aberration. The lenses are compact and lightweight with an 80mm diameter and the 9-blade iris remains circular through all stops to create a consistency in the out-of-focus areas.
