Great boka. Is a Petzvar like a Petzval? Lomography sells Petzvals with similar boka. As for the photo, I like the lighting and the way you caught the slight smile.

The Petzvay is a petzval design lens done as a Kickstarter project by an APUG list member. That a look here: http://www.apug.org/forums/forum379...etzval-portrait-lens-petzvar-f-3-8-120mm.html. I'm pleased with mine and I think they are in production. Check with DenysBill Barber

Bruce- the Lomography Petzval is not in fact a Petzval, but a re-bodying of an FSU 85mm Helios lens. It swirls, but it's not the same as a real Petzval in that the swirl can be avoided even when shooting wide open, depending on the placement of subject relative to background.

And this lens is not the Lomography lens but rather the Petzvar Kickstarter lens done by Denys on APUG. BB
