Description: Petzval pathe Freres Brass Cinema Lens PL Mount. Very RARE. Made in Paris. A beautiful antique lens. Its is aprox 115mm focal length and a fixed aperture of about f2.5 (Estimated) It was professionally adapted to PL mount with correct flange focal length. Focuses to infinity and a bit past infinity for unique effects. Comes with rear PL cap. Nice Swirly Bokeh!! Great portrait lens, sharp in center with unique bokeh, Everything functions as it should. The glass is very nice, there is a bit of dust inside the lens which is normal for a lens this old. It does not affect image. The lens is about 100 years old. The lens covers super 35mm easily and full frame. It was tested and focuses to infinity, close focus is aprox 2 feet and has beautiful bokeh. The image is best described as ghostly,soft and dreamy, a fluffy shimmer around the edges, but crisp in center. (Please note that this lens achieves a nice swirly bokeh but requires experimentation and is not guaranteed for your particular setup or situation) please see video below. This is a very unique and extremely rare!!! This lens will Certainly add a cinematic, film like quality to digital sensors. The movie ‘Poor Things’ and ‘The lighthouse’ achieved a very unique look by incorporating petzval lenses. Thank you for your interest!
