It allows you to capture the authentic vintage aesthetics of the 19th century using your contemporary SLR cameras.

The prime lens with an 80.5mm focal length is perfect for capturing natural-looking portraits.

The dual aperture system lets you choose between a stopless aperture diaphragm or the Waterhouse Aperture System, which can produce rich and patterned backgrounds through the insertion of special shape aperture plates.

The lens boasts a retro design with a contemporary finish, featuring a cool black anodized aluminum body. It is designed for full-frame sensors but also delivers great results when used on crop sensor cameras.
