This lens does not focus like a regular lens; this lens is designed for artistic photography with subsequent digital processing.The lens produces a bokeh effect similar to a petzval with a fully open aperture and maximum defocusing of the background with the obligatory backlight. Example: the distance to the subject (portrait) is 1.5 m, the distance to the background (flowers) is 3.5 m. The background (flowers) is illuminated by lanterns. . Aperture f=2.As a result, there is a portrait in the center of the frame, and swirling bokeh at the edges of the frame. To enhance sharpness, little digital processing is requiredThe lens is designed to work on SLR cameras with a flange length of at least 55mm, and on mirrorless cameras with an extension adapter that increases the flange distance to 55mm.Focal length: 58mmDiaphragm: f/2.0 - f/16.0Number of aperture blades: 6 piecesThe weight: 245 gOptical design: 6 elements in 4 groupsThread: M42Front Filter Diameter: 52mmMDF: 0.50
