Lomography is back with another variant of its Daguerreotype Achromat 64mm F2.9 Art Lens. The lens was first launched on crowdfunding website Kickstarter in early 2016, followed by a chrome-plated version introduced last summer. This time around, Lomography is offering a limited edition gold-plated version of the Achromat 2.9/64, that joining the chrome-plated and original black/brass variants.
The Gold Plated Daguerreotype Achromat 2.9/64 Art Lens is “wrapped in a glossy coat of real gold plate” applied to the underlying brass, says Lomography. The lens is otherwise the same as the others in the collection, including Canon EF and Nikon F mounting options, a helicoid focusing mechanism, 37-degree FOV, 40.5mm filter thread, and 64mm focal length.
Here are some sample photos captured with the Daguerreotype Achromat:

The Gold Plated lens is available now globally from Lomography’s online store and Gallery Stores now for $ 550 USD. The brass, black, and chrome-plated versions are priced at $ 400 USD.
