Create immediately recognizable high quality photos with a wonderful swirly bokeh effect. Manufactured in Russia by Zenit the Lomography New Petzval 85 Art Lens is a stunning reinvention of one of the greatest lenses of all time. Each lens is crafted from brass and features high-quality glass optics that produce images with extreme sharpness strong color saturation artful vignetting and absolutely beautiful swirly bokeh backgrounds. Most modern lenses are designed to minimize field curvature so you’ll have the whole image in focus. However the Petzval lens design gives its photos a totally different optical effect. You’ll get an area which is very sharp at the focus of the photograph over a narrow field. Next there is progressive vignetting towards the non-focused areas which helps draw the viewer’s attention to the crisp and focused area of the photograph making it perfect for portraits where you want your subject to be in the center of attention. All Petzval lens elements are multi-coated in a special formula to protect them. However we cannot disclose the full details of the materials due to industry standards. Like most manual lenses the Petzval is not weather/waterproof. However to prevent dust particles getting into the aperture slots there is a lining material to cover the Waterhouse aperture slots.
