Lomography New Petzval 80.5 f/1.9 MKII SLR Bokeh Control Art Lens Nikon F
The Lomography New Petzval 80.5 f/1.9 MKII SLR Bokeh Control Art Lens (Nikon F) is a reinvention of the original 19th-century Joseph Petzval portrait lens. It is designed for modern analogue and digital SLR cameras and features an improved Bokeh Control Ring for even more experimentation.
This extraordinary Art Lens is designed for still and moving image photography and delivers beautiful swirling bokeh effects. It is ready for all kinds of cinematic and photographic adventures. It features a new helicoid focusing mechanism, a stepless aperture and a Waterhouse Aperture System for endless creativity.
This special Bokeh Control edition of the New Petzval 80.5 f/1.9 MKII SLR Art Lens comes with the unique Bokeh Control Ring, so you can select the swirl level you want. At Bokeh Level 1, for example, you can achieve a larger area of sharpness in your photos, while at Bokeh Level 7 you will see the swirl envelop the background.
Lomography Art Lenses are made with the finest glass to produce photos that amaze with saturated colours and a unique character. These lenses are not only designed and assembled by hand, but also developed with modern techniques and multi-coated glass elements to produce vivid, strong, beautiful photos with a whole range of contemporary cameras. Every Lomography Art Lens brings a wide range of creative possibilities, and no two are the same.
In 1840, in Vienna, Professor Joseph Maximilián Petzval invented the very first portrait lens. His groundbreaking design became the most widely used in the 19th century. Since 2013, we have been reinventing this great original. Our quest to translate this unique optical design into lenses that work with modern cameras has so far resulted in four extraordinary Art Lenses: the New Petzval 85, the New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control, the New Petzval 55 f/1.7 MKII and the New Petzval 80.5 f/1.9 MKII.
