Petzval Portrait Lens Reissue

Here we go boys and girls, the Petzval Protrait lens of 1840 reissued in Nikon and Canon mounts by Lomography of Russia.  This was the first mathematically calculated lens made by the worlds first camera company Voigtlander in Germany.  It is rich in field curvature and other aberrations and produces an interesting rather romantic image.   Get yours for a low $400.00 which is very low compared to the cost of the surviving originals.  It is in a brass barrel like the original and uses Waterhouse stops yet.   Judging from the color saturation the reissue is probably multicoated.
