Meyer-Optik Art Lens Configuration

Designed to guarantee an optimal balance between contrast & resolution with the goal to allow for a wide variety of artistic options. The lenses are optimized to maintain a relation between sharpness and characteristic bokeh which favors creativity over tech specs.
