The Bokeh Control Ring: Your 7-Step Stairway to Swirly Bokeh Heaven

Thanks to the revolutionary Bokeh Control Ring, the New Petzval 58 is the world’s 1st Petzval Bokeh Control Lens (and one of the only Bokeh Control lenses which exist, for that matter).With the Bokeh Control Ring, you have complete freedom to adjust the signature Petzval swirly bokeh effect for the first time ever — that means purely sublime swirl in all kinds of environments and shooting conditions!

Premium Petzval Quality & Features

Featuring the finest quality Russian glass optics, the New Petzval 58 delivers crystal clear images with deeply strong color and character. But the magnificence of the New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control Art Lens extends far beyond the photos it takes. A welcome addition to the luxurious Lomography Art Lens Family, the lens is manufactured by hand and is available in a brass or black finish. The lens also features a Waterhouse Aperture system with plates ranging from f/1.9 to f/16 and a Gear Rack Focusing Knob for smooth and fast focusing.

A Modern Re-telling of a Classic Tale

2015 marks the 175 year anniversary of Joseph Petzval’s first lens. A revolutionary design that made huge waves following its inception in 1840, the Petzval has slowly become a rare collector’s item as technology has advanced. But in 2013, with the amazing support of the Kickstarter community, we reignited the passion for Petzval photography with the Lomography New Petzval 85mm Lens. Now, we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate Joseph Petzval’s legacy and continue the ripple effect with the New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control Art Lens.
