Lomography Petzval lens from their 2025 Holiday Gift Guide<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The name Petzval is familiar to photographic historians and collectors. The original lens won a contest for a fast portrait lens shortly after the invention of the Daguerreotype technology was released. Eder’s book on the History of Photography<\/a> (Dover reprint) has the gory details.<\/p>\n

The Lomography folks designed a newer lens, also called a Petzval but a bit faster at f\/1.9 and shorter at 80.5mm focal length. It is included in the Lomography Holiday Gift Guide for 2025.<\/p>\n

Chloe Fuller down in the Big Apple writes:<\/p>\n
