Joseph Petzval, The Next Generation

We are thrilled to unveil the evolution of the legendary Petzval Art Lens – introducing the Joseph Petzval Focus-coupled Bokeh Control Art Lens Series, expertly handcrafted to inspire a new era of artistic photography and videography with Sony E, Canon RF & Nikon Z cameras. Each lens delivers a strikingly sharp center with softly blooming edges, enhanced by the signature painterly swirly bokeh Petzval lenses are known for. With the dedicated bokeh control ring, the intensity of the swirl can be adjusted across seven levels, adding depth, character and emotion to every shot. Users can detune the look of every image, making these lenses an essential tool for bold, expressive visuals.

Offering unparalleled artistic versatility for advanced videography and photography, these new lenses have a unique feature: focus-coupled bokeh control. This enables complete creative control over tuning the image with beautiful swirly bokeh effects, without any focus shift that may disrupt a shot. Available to order now in 35 mm, 55 mm, 80.5 mm focal lengths, the 27 mm and 135 mm lenses will complete the collection very soon.

The Petzval Look

In an era of digital perfection and ‘clean’ imagery, photographers and videographers are craving something different, a new look for their photo and video projects. The ‘Petzval look’ has become increasingly popular for its visual effects that add depth and character to any scene, particularly with the signature swirly bokeh. What was once considered an imperfection can be the key to a standout shot. The Petzval look has been featured by many acclaimed filmmakers in productions like Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos, 2023; Blonde, Andrew Dominik, 2022; Cherry, Joe and Anthony Russo, 2021; and The Northman, Robert Eggers, 2022.

Joseph Petzval Videography

We have built the new Petzval lens series based on calculations from Joseph Petzval’s original optical design, bringing the coveted Petzval look to five focal lengths, directly compatible with your full-frame mirrorless mounts. With enhanced features for video production including uniform gear positioning and follow focus compatibility, they will fit seamlessly into any production workflow.
