The New Lomography Petzval Art Lens is a stunning reinvention of the legendary Petzval Lens, which was first conceived of in Vienna, Austria, in 1840.

The Lomography Petzval Portrait Lens

It is compatible with all Canon EF and Nikon F mount analogue and digital cameras and offers both photographers and filmmakers the chance to shoot truly unique photographs and videos. Characteristic photos shot with the Petzval lens are recognizable for their sharpness and crispness in the centre, strong color saturation, wonderful swirly bokeh effect, artful vignettes and narrow depth of field. Because of the characteristic swirly bokeh effect that it produces, the New Petzval Lens is perfect for portraits where you want your subject to be the center of attention. The Lomography Petzval Portrait Lens. The new Lomography Petzval Lens works using a traditional Waterhouse aperture system.

With this design, your lens comes with a set of stops (also known as diaphragms). Each diaphragm is drilled with a hole of a different size; these sizes correspond to the f-stop or aperture. So if you’d like to shoot with f/4 aperture, you select the f/4 diaphragm and insert it into the aperture slot of your lens; if you’d like to shoot with a f/11 aperture, you select the f/11 diaphragm and so on. Here are the aperture options for the Lomography Petzval lens: f/2.2f/4f/5.6f/8f/11f/16 Focal Length: 85mmMaximum Aperture: f/2.2 Apertures: Waterhouse aperture set, up to f/16Image Circle: 44mmField of View: 30 degreesLens Mounting Profile: Canon EF and Nikon FElectronic contacts: NoClosest Focusing Distance: 1m Focusing Mechanism: Gear Rack FocusingLens Construction: 4 Elements in 3 Groups Filter Thread: 67mmMax.
