Product Information
These lenses have long been a phenomenon amongst portrait and art photographers, particularly the Helios based designs of the 58 and 85mm. They are all Soviet Union engineered vintage lenses and as such are full of character. Grieg Fraser ACS, ASC is a fan apparently having used them extensively in Dune 2 and in sequences from The Batman and we can definitely see where he’s coming from.
These lenses ooze character with sharp centres and gradually softening toward the edge of the frame. The flares are big and beautiful and they hold contrast pretty well.
Ironglass rehousings are really beautiful, amazing size and weight and they’re incredibly well built in Ukraine with pride.
