The Lomography Petzval 85mm f/2.2 (Black) for Nikon is a lens that brings unmistakable character and artistry to your photography. Inspired by the original 19th‑century Petzval optical design, it delivers a beautifully unique rendering that modern lenses simply can’t replicate. With its striking brass‑style aesthetic (finished here in sleek black) and handcrafted optical construction, this lens transforms everyday scenes into expressive, dream‑like images filled with depth, swirl, and vintage charm.

One of the defining features of the Petzval 85mm is its signature swirly bokeh, a look that portrait photographers and creative shooters adore. At f/2.2, backgrounds melt into a dramatic vortex of blur while your subject remains crisp and beautifully separated. It’s a lens that encourages experimentation: tilt your composition, adjust your distance, or play with light, and the Petzval responds with rich, cinematic character. For portraits, fashion, street, and fine‑art photography, it delivers a visual style that stands out instantly.

The Petzval’s waterhouse aperture system adds another layer of creative control. Instead of a traditional aperture ring, you insert aperture-shaped plates to control depth of field and bokeh style. This gives you the ability to craft images with personality, from classic round blur to more stylised effects. Combined with its solid metal construction and manual‑focus precision, the lens offers a tactile, hands‑on shooting experience that many photographers find refreshing and inspiring.

This particular copy is in mint condition, presenting beautifully with clean optics, smooth focusing, and a pristine exterior. It has clearly been well cared for and offers the rare opportunity to own a Petzval lens that looks and performs like new. Whether you’re a Nikon shooter wanting to expand your creative toolkit or a collector seeking a standout art lens, this Petzval 85mm is a superb choice.
