Lomography’s second riff on a historic lens design, the Petzval 58 offers the same swirly bokeh effect as the original 85mm variation at a shorter focal length. It’s been given the same brass treatment as the first lens and also uses the Waterhouse aperture system with interchangeable plates, but introduces a Bokeh Control Ring to adjust the strength of the swirly bokeh effect. Funded via a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, the Petzval 58 made its way to our office. Take a look and see what the latest Petzval can do.
