My new Petzval 58 lens does some amazing things with light and background. We got this peacock feather at a concert performed by the musician Athena Burke and Maria just put it in a vase on the windowsill. I was drawn to the shape, the Petzval takes some work, but the rumor were true, the Russian glass is different from any other. I did some in color, I’ll put them up also. This lens is very exciting. It is not for everyone, for sure, and is not simple to use. But I think the payoff will be worth it.
