Keith DavisonThe lens is up to modern lens sharpness centrally, but the swirl effect and field curvature make for soft edges, but afterall, this is what you're buying it for!
Focus is smooth and easy with my Sony A7rII using magnify.
Do not buy this lens for APS-C cameras, the cropping removes nearly all of the Petzval swirl that you buy it for.
Background and subject distance is critical to get maximum swirl, you also need backgrounds with a lot of small detail or specular highlights. Smooth backgrounds will show little if any swirl, even at the correct distances.
One of only two Petzval lenses you can buy new.
Free your subjects from their background on full frame with delicious twisty, swirly blur. Twist 60s vignette calls further attention to anything you place within the large central area of focus, for a timeless, vintage look.
True to an 1840 design by Joseph Petzval, this lens reveals striking separation between subjects and their background, a quality that modern lens designs lack.
Twist 60 is a metal-bodied, non-tilting lens that mounts directly to your camera and is recommended for use on full frame cameras only.
Twist 60 Optic, part of the Optic Swap System, is available separately for use in a tilting lens body. For best results, when used in a tilting lens body, keep the lens pointed straight ahead.
