SWIRL BOKEH LENS SERIES
The Goldfield Courthouse series I posted was all done with lenses that are 90 to 110 years old and the photos are tack sharp. So just because a lens is old means very little. Wollensak Verito's have the same properties in the same conditions. It's hard to portray a swirley blank sky. Then your composition needs to have elements that will show the swirling, like bushes and tree branches. So at 6 feet from the lens a 10" petzval would give nice swirley bokeh on the 8X10 camera. You would pick the shorter of the lenses for nearer subjects as the bellows goes out. Roughly this might be 4-6 inches on a 4X5 and 10-12 inches on an 8X10. So the only way to get it on purpose is to get a petzval type lens that just vignettes the corners on the format in use. It seems to happen only in the portion of a petzval lenses image circles that were never intended to be "in the image" in the first place. Impossible to define and more impossible to formulize. Then your composition needs to have elements that will. So at 6 feet from the lens a 10' petzval would give nice swirley bokeh on the 8X10 camera. The new Petzval only comes in either Canon or Nikon mount. In 2013, the folks at Lomography launched a Kickstarter campaign to redesign and reinvent the Petzval lens. It has that unique swirly bokeh in the background. You would pick the shorter of the lenses for nearer subjects as the bellows goes out. The original Petzval lens was invented by Joseph Petzval in 1840, for use mainly in portrait photography. Whether its a sweet spot of focus, a dramatic slice of focus, or a swirly bokeh, we have artistic effects for any type of photographic vision. Our camera lenses provide a natural creative effect with minimal post-production editing. i just want to use it so "beater" is good for me. Roughly this might be 4-6 inches on a 4X5 and 10-12 inches on an 8X10. Play with color, focus, or bokeh in a photoshoot. that old 2d i bought from you sees a lot of use!ĭo you have any of these lenses in your mine? for me it does not have to be pretty or perfect. How can i be sure i get what i am looking for? does it need water house stops? will a projection lens of that era do the same? how can i be sure? if it has a built in iris is it too new to give good swirls? is it safe to assume any lens of this type made before the year 1900 will give me these effects? can i estimate the focal length given the overall length and diameter of the lens?Īny tips you can give me to help guide me would be great. I am interested in an old lens that give s a nice swirl effect when shot wide open.
