No stranger to rejuvenating analog camera technology, Lomography has just announced the Joseph Petzval Art Lens Series. A handcrafted collection rooted in the optical heritage of Joseph Petzval’s original 1840 portrait lens, recalculated and reengineered for modern mirrorless camera systems.
Designed for full-frame Sony E, Canon RF, and Nikon Z mounts, the lineup begins with the Joseph Petzval 55mm f/1.7, 80.5mm f/1.9, and 35mm f/2. Soon to be joined by two further lenses, a 27mm and a 135mm (already in development), completing what will be a five-lens Petzval series. Notably, some of these focal lengths, including the 80.5mm, are available for full-frame mirrorless cameras for the first time.
