Description: Petzval Lens PL Mount!! Very RARE. A beautiful antique lens. Its is aprox 150mm focal length and a fixed aperture of about f2.5 (Estimated) It was professionally adapted to PL mount with correct flange focal length. Focuses to infinity and a bit past infinity for unique effects. Comes with rear PL cap. Great portrait lens, sharp in center with unique bokeh, Everything functions as it should. The glass is very nice, there is a bit of dust inside the lens which is normal for a lens this old. It does not affect image. The lens is over 100 years old. The lens covers super 35mm easily and full frame. It was tested and focuses to infinity, close focus is aprox 2 feet and has beautiful bokeh. The image is best described as ghostly, soft and dreamy, a fluffy shimmer around the edges, but crisp in center. Please note that a swirling bokeh can be achieved with petzval lenses but because of the larger focal length of 150mm, it requires experimentation and is not guaranteed in your setup or situation. Please see video below. This is a very unique and extremely rare!!! This lens will Certainly add a cinematic, film like quality to digital sensors. The movie ‘Poor Things’ and ‘The lighthouse’ achieved a very unique look by incorporating petzval lenses among many others. Thank you for your interest!
