Introducing the Daguerreotype Achromat 2.9/64 Brass Art Lens, Chrome Plated

Exuding character, sophistication and grace, the Daguerreotype Achromat is back in high spirits — with an exclusive, brand new chrome finishing. Inspired by the incredible support the Art Lens received on Kickstarter back in 2016, we designed this sleek silver edition to offer a classic, timeless look — and to protect your lens from wear and tear. Looking stunning both on analogue and digital cameras, its cool elegance makes it the ultimate tool to shoot summer festivals, urban life, glamour, the great outdoors and so much more. Get your Chrome Plated Daguerreotype Achromat online or find a Gallery Store near you!
