![]() The Bokeh Control edition of the lens requires a contribution of $356-a substantial price drop from the original 85mm Petzval lens. Although you can make a DIY tool and put it over any of your standard lenses (beware of a lot of vignetting), the most typical lens used for creating swirly bokeh is Russian Helios 44-2 58 mm f/2. Early Kickstarter backers can get a basic version of the lens for only $290 if they contribute to the campaign in the first 24 hours. This swirly bokeh is not a filter effect, but a special feature of certain old-school lenses that were produced about 40 years ago. The lens is made up of 4 elements in 3 groups, has a 30 degree field of view and weighs 0.97 lbs. Luckily the lens barrel is skinny and will slide inside the camera mount, somewhere like a C-mount lens. Adapting/refitting that lens is not easy since to get infinity the rear will sit closer than the camera mount. The drop-in aperture plates make pretty blur in front of or behind a subject.

It has beautiful swirly bokeh, a useful focal length and high. ![]() Allowing this new lens to satisfy photographers. If you want funky bokeh in an easily usable lens at a great price then this is the one to get.

The Lomography X Zenit New Petzval 85mm mimics the first Petzval lens to come out of Vienna, Austria in 1840. Swirly bokeh is a calling card for Petzval lenses. Petzval lenses are known for creating images that are perfectly sharp in the center with a lovely, circular bokeh effect that increases in intensity as you get closer to the edges of the frame This new version gives photographers a little more control over that swirly bokeh. The newly redesigned lens has a helicoid focusing mechanism and a stopless aperture diaphragm-making it a great tool for filmmakers as well. The lens is available in brass satin, black painted brass, and black anodized aluminum. The 80.5mm lens has a max aperture of f/1.9 and is compatible with Nikon F and Canon EF mount cameras. If you’ve ever read anything on the subject you will likely know that the word Bokeh is a Japanese word that has at some point in the not particularly distant past made its way into the English language. Unlike modern lenses designed to minimize field. Bokeh is the word used to describe the aesthetic qualities of the out of focus areas within an image. ![]() It’s the company’s 12th Kickstarter campaign and has already surpassed its $100,000 goal. The New Petzval lenses dont just give you a basic Bokeh, you can get what we like to call Swirly Bokeh.
