This first lens sealed the company’s global reputation as a leading camera manufacturer. This new lens design was the first to be based on scientific calculations, not just the experience of the optician. By May 1840, Petzval finished his latest lens calculations and handed them over to the company Voigtländer & Sohn. Petzval was affected by a great hope among scientists to discover previously unseen things in the world and he specifically believed that math had a higher calling, namely to uncover nature. But, with exposure times needing to last half an hour or more, portraits were impossible.Ī little further east, Vienna was also a fruitful place for science and innovation at this time. It was the first-ever photographic process and involved photos being printed on silver plates. On 9 January 1839, the French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process, the invention of French artist and physicist Louis Daguerre. It is here where his acclaimed brainchild – the Petzval lens – was born. He also founded his own glass-sharpening workshop, where he acquired a reputation for being a skilled lens sharpener and precision mechanic. In 1835, at the tender age of 28, his reputation as an exceptional mathematician earned him the title of Professor. Joseph Petzval was born on 6 January 1807 in the Hungarian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire – modern-day Slovakia. The New Petzval 85, the New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control, the New Petzval 55 f/1.7 MKII and the New Petzval 80.5 f/1.9 MKII. Our quest to translate this unique optical design into lenses that would work with modern-day cameras has resulted in four extraordinary Art Lenses to date. We have been reinventing this amazing original since 2013. His groundbreaking design became the most widely used in the 19th century.
In 1840, in Vienna, Professor Joseph Maximilián Petzval invented the very first portrait lens. Each Lomography Art Lens brings a wide variety of creative possibilities with it, no two are the same. As well as being designed and assembled by hand, these lenses have been engineered using modern techniques and multi-coated glass elements to produce vibrant, strong, wonderful photos with a whole range of contemporary cameras. Lomography Art Lenses feature the finest glass to produce photos that astonish with saturated colors and unique character.
