Hi guys,

             A review of the Lomography Petzval lens has been published. This is an optical design which dates from the late 1800s has now been brought out in brass  with rack and pinion focusing with a matching brass lens cap from the original Zenith factory in Russia. Doubts had been raised as to the eventual quality of construction. It is available in Canon and Nikon mounts.

 Wonderful bokeh is it's claim, various images were published giving rise to mixed opinions.

hmm, this lens looks already used and scratched when new, including dust in the lens. Perhaps they also recreated the manufacturing conditions of 1840.
