Lomography just launched a new Kickstarter project for their Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens.
They reached nearly halfway towards the $100K goal in the few hours since going live.
Nour is available for full-frame mirrorless mounts (Canon RF, Nikon Z, and Sony E) and comes with bokeh control, drop-in aperture plates and a modern helicoid focusing mechanism.
This 64mm lens has an aperture range of 𝒇2.0-𝒇16 and a 44mm image circle. Its closest focusing distance is 0.6m/2’ and it uses a 55mm filter thread.
Perhaps the most interesting feature is the bokeh control slider that can alter the look of the out-of-focus specular highlights between “bubble” (defined ring with translucent middle) and “soft” (feathered edges). The slider has no steps, so if you are planning to shoot a video, you can transition between the phases seamlessly. In the photo below (model: instagram.com/oooooooooooo… by: instagram.com/calvincffu) the control is in the middle for the “classic” setting.
Price (early bird):
