80.5mm Joseph Petzval Focus-coupled Bokeh Control Art Lens f/1.9

A modern interpretation of Joseph Petzval’s 1840 optical design. These lenses deliver a distinctive visual character built around a sharp center and a painterly swirl in the out-of-focus areas, enhanced by warm veiling glare and gentle flares.

The focus-coupled bokeh control system allows adjusting the swirl intensity across seven levels via a dedicated ring — without shifting focus, enabling smooth visual transitions in motion.

Designed with cinematography in mind, the lenses feature de-clicked control rings, a 180° focus throw, and standard 0.8 mod gears for seamless integration with follow-focus systems.

A dual aperture system expands creative possibilities, allowing both traditional exposure control and the use of drop-in plates to shape bokeh into unique patterns.

The Joseph Petzval 80.5 mm f/1.9 Focus-Coupled Bokeh Control Art Lens is a masterfully crafted tool designed for filmmakers who crave depth, emotion and timeless character in their video. This focal length offers flattering perspective compression and exquisite subject separation with shallow depth of field and razor-sharp center focus surrounded by the iconic Petzval swirly bokeh.
