Lomography Petzval 55 mm & 85 mm Bokeh Control Lenses – Sony E Mount
A rare and distinctive pair of Lomography Petzval art lenses, featuring swirl bokeh control and the timeless Petzval optical formula — reimagined for modern digital cinema.
These lenses combine vintage 19th-century optical design with precision-machined brass housings and full compatibility with Sony E-mount cameras.
The Petzval 55 mm f/1.7 MKII and Petzval 85 mm f/2.2 both feature an adjustable bokeh control ring, allowing filmmakers to fine-tune the signature Petzval swirl effect — from subtle depth to dramatic, dreamlike separation. Each lens renders subjects with a painterly, romantic character unlike any modern optic.
