This legendary Soviet lens is a successor of the Carl Zeiss Biotar, and in standard form, is renowned for its distinctive and attractive image quality and bokeh.
!! This version has had the \"Petzval Mod\" carried out, which radically alters the character of the lens. !!
Images now have a surreal \"dreamy\" look with a glowing, soft focus effect, and the swirly bokeh increased to all new levels!
Images from this lens have a distinctive and other worldly appeal to them without needing to apply software special effect filters!
!!!! Please be aware that his lens is modified specifically to give a special effect. The effect is strongest with the aperture wide open and decreases gradually as you close the aperture down.!!!!
To get the Petzval effect with this lens, the distance to the subject should be about 1-2 meters, and the background should be colorful, bright, illuminated by flashes or the sun. It can be plants, tree leaves, etc. In short, you need to have something that can give that swirling bokeh effect. I\'ve attached a video that shows what this effect looks like depending on the distance to the subject and the background
!!! I check each lens for appropriate bokeh and sufficient sharpness at open aperture.If you wish, you can add sharpness in post-processing.!!!
