The "swirly bokeh" ring
Petzval lenses were created in the 19th century and were the world's first objective lenses for photography. Their most distinctive feature is the swirling bokeh that appears in the out-of-focus areas. This unique bokeh creates a nostalgic atmosphere in portrait photography.
Lomography has previously released 55mm and 80.5mm products, but now they have added three new lenses to the Petzval series: 24mm, 35mm, and 135mm. The new Petzval series does not just increase the focal length lineup. The introduction of a high-precision correction mechanism makes it possible to change the level of "swirly bokeh" without focus shift (shift in the focal position. (Capa Camera Web)
