---|
The Sony A, Sony E, and Pentax K mounts, announced by Venus Optics in September 2016. It is marketed as the "Bokeh Dreamer" lens.[1]
Though designed for
full frame, the lens can be used on APS-C
camera bodies, with an equivalent full-frame field-of-view of approximately 136.5mm - 157.5mm. Canon EF-Mount versions are optionally equipped with a focus confirmation chip.
Optical properties
The lens features an
apodization filter element within the lens itself which lends itself to producing creamy smooth bokeh
at the expense of light gathering capabilities. The lens features the bokeh of an f/2.0 lens but maintains the light-gathering of a T/3.2 lens, requiring brighter lighting conditions from the environment to compensate.
