Lomography's Daguerreotype Achromat 2.9/64 Art Lens Chromat Brass Camera Lens

It's our popular reinvention of Charles Chevalier’s 19th century optical design as you’ve never seen it before! With all the dreamy effects you love wrapped in a limited edition gold-plated design, it works with Canon EF and Nikon F mounts, and is compatible with a wide range of other cameras using adapters.  Practical photography was invented in 1839 with the combination of a Chevalier Achromat lens attached to a Daguerreotype camera. The Chevalier lens bathed images in an alluring veil of light and created hazy, soft pictures. Our Daguerreotype Achromat 2.9/64 Art Lens is a modern reinvention of this lost aesthetic. Photographers and videographers can delve into an extensive variation of moods and special effects. Shoot silky, soft-focus images at f/2.9, and crisp, sharp shots from f/5.6 onwards — all at a fixed focal length of 64 mm.  Fitted with a unique Waterhouse Aperture system, our Daguerreotype Achromat 2.9/64 Art Lenses let you adjust to varying depths of field to create gorgeous bokeh and beautiful backdrops with textured, painterly bokeh rarely achieved in photography. This edition comes with a set of aperture plates that can be used to create incredible Lomographic lens flares, or simply kept as a unique collectable photography accessory.  Please note: pictures eight and on are the lens for sale. The glass is in perfect condition. The brass and aperture plates have backpack wear as shown.
