Additional Info

Modern full-frame prime lenses designed to have the degree of vintage look ‘tuned’ to influence the ease of flare and softness.  This set is T-tuned which represents a medium level of softness and flare.

This is a 5-lens set 27mm-77mm/T1.9

  • Consistent T1.9-T22 throughout the range.
  • Tuning allows parameters such as sharpness, contrast, roll-off, spherical aberration, field curvature, edge halation and flare to be modified to provide sets of “curated” optics to suit the personality and intent of the owner.
  • Many of the design cues for BLACKWING7 primes originate in optics manufactured during the 1930 – 1960s60mm image circle (27mm has 55mm image circle).
  • Warm vintage look which flare easily.
  • full frame throughout the set.
  • 104mm front diameter.
