Lomography Petzval 55 f/1.7 MKII Art Lens for Nikon Z

The Lomography Petzval 55mm f/1.7 MKII Art Lens is a manual focus standard prime lens designed to reproduce the distinctive optical rendering characteristics of the historic Petzval lens formula, originally developed in the 19th century. At 55mm with an f/1.7 maximum aperture, it delivers a natural field of view with strong light gathering capability, and the Petzval optical design produces a characteristic rendering style featuring a sharp central focus zone surrounded by pronounced swirly bokeh and vignetting toward the edges of the frame, a deliberate aesthetic quality that distinguishes it from conventional modern lens designs optimized for uniform sharpness. A rotating bokeh control ring allows the degree of the swirly background blur effect to be adjusted to suit different creative preferences and shooting situations. The black aluminum construction gives the lens a classic and distinctive appearance consistent with its retro-inspired design intent. Available in multiple mount options to suit different camera systems.
