#Swirly bokeh lens nikon full

Thanks to Joseph Petzval and his swirly Bokeh from the 1840’s we are now being able to purchase a replica of sorts, but even better as the original Petzval had ONLY massive swirl where this recreation gives us choices of Swirl Level with a focus ring type of dial on the lens barrel, allowing us to dial in what we want. Click it for larger and see his face is pretty sharp, wide open shot.

When set on #7, this lens delivers SWIRL like I have never seen before.

But in addition to this, we get full Bokeh Control where we can dial it in on #1 and get a nice smooth-ish Bokeh or we can go to #7 and get swirl city. Not only does this 58 1.9 offer me sharper images (ONLY at the focus point though), it also gives me more contrast and better colors than I remember getting from the 85 Petzval. Soft wide open, low contrast and washed out colors. When I was asked to review this lens I assumed it would be like a 58mm version of the 85. That lens is the new Petzval 58 1.9 Bokeh Control lens, and to me, it looks like a smaller version of the Lomo 85 Petzval f/2.2 Art Lens, but this 58 1.9 is actually, IMO, a much better lens that the 85. Brass, VERY Old School and unique in the way that you change aperture and even focus the lens.

I have been shooting with a lens that looks mighty familiar to me in design and looks. Bokeh Dreams…The Petzval 58 1.9 Bokeh Control Art Lens ReviewĪll images here were shot with the Petzval 58 1.9 and Sony A7RII.
