Last July, Lomography unveiled a series of new Petzval lenses. At the time, the company launched 35mm f/2, 55mm f/1.7, and 80.5mm f/1.9 Art primes, promising to bring 27mm f/1.7 and 135mm f/2.5 lenses into the fold later. Like the three Joseph Petzval Art lenses Lomography released last year, the two new ones embrace swirly bokeh the distinct appearance of classic Petzval lenses. Not only was this frustrating for photographers, but it also significantly limited the usability of older Lomography Petzval lenses for video applications. The new 27mm f/1.7 lens was particularly challenging, as it was hard to achieve the required field curvature at the wider focal length.
