The P58 / f1.9 was developed by Meyer-Optik G"rlitz's brilliant designer Paul Schfter 80 years ago. Its light intensity of 1:1.9, which was considered extremely high back then, made the P58 / f1.9 one of the most exciting lenses of its time. The P58 / f1.9 gained its legendary reputation among photographers around the world in no time at all.
The most versatile bokeh
The lens has always been known for its extensive range of bokeh effects. With maximum aperture, the bokeh effect swirls and the lights flow into each other as if by magic. When stopped down, it is "creamy" with slight detail in the blur. The smooth progression from focus to blur gives images a sense of depth. 12 aperture blades even blur the lights and depict them as almost circular.
Exceptional design for exceptional images
The breathtaking images taken with the P58 / f1.9 are down to its unusual design, in which a central dispersion lens is flanked by two groups of lenses, each acting as a converging lens. The rear group consists of a single biconvex converging lens, resulting in a subtle brilliance over the entire frame. The new design was developed by Dr. Wolf-Dieter Prenzel from G"rlitz and adapted to the needs of digital photography, all the while preserving the world famous character of the P58 / f1.9. Glass from Schott and O'Hara was also added to provide optical brilliance.
