product details
The Ancient Optics Lomography Petzvalux brings one of history’s most iconic lens designs into the modern cinema world. Originally created by Lomography, the Petzvalux reimagines the legendary 1840 Petzval portrait lens, celebrated for its swirling bokeh, dramatic edge falloff, and painterly rendering. Ancient Optics has taken this design further by rehousing it into durable, professional LPL mounts with standardized mechanics, making it suitable for demanding film production. The result is a lens that retains the unmistakable dreamlike character of the Petzval while offering the reliability and usability required on set. With its unique ability to transform ordinary scenes into stylized, immersive imagery, the Petzvalux provides cinematographers with one of the most distinctive looks available today. Available to rent or sub-rent from Cine Visuals.

Image Performance
Handling & Adaptability
The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
