Woohoo, Petzval has arrived! I promptly stuck it on a Canon film body freshly loaded with Kodak 400 CN and took it for a spin. I used the 2.2 aperture only on these so I could see what it looks like wide open. First impressions: Very cool lens. Simple to use, well made, cool looking effects especially with a busy background or strong backlight. Kind of reminds me of the Lensbaby look a little bit but not as distorted. However, some of the same principles definitely apply.....it's been a while since I shot an SLR and quite a while since I've shot any kind of telephoto so it felt really nice and fresh today, plus we had some nice light and moderate temperatures for a change. Conclusion: This lens is a lot of fun to play with and it looks really cool. I had 5 people stop me and ask about it so it's a head turner. I might have to get a black one if I wish to not stand out in a crowd....for a smoother and slicker look with the bokeh this will perform the best with a digital sensor IMO, just like Lensbaby. However, a fine grain film could also be very nice and I'm anxious to try out a few more rolls as soon as possible.
