| The cinematic sensation, Poor Things, is a thrilling masterpiece by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. A visually stunning experience, it was shot on 35 mm motion-picture film, and we’re super excited that our Petzval lenses made a captivating cameo, chosen for their unique aesthetic. The film has bagged a staggering 11 Oscar nominations and we want to wish good luck to all involved! |

| “The portrait lenses were 58mm and 85mm [Lomography] Petzvals, which are known for their distinct bokeh, where the center is sharp and everything else spirals out of focus,’ […] these two primes were tuned to the filmmakers’ specs and shot at the widest apertures […] to produce a visually striking, era-appropriate look for singles and close-ups.” | | —Robbie Ryan for The American Society of Cinematographers |

| “What’s really cool about this lens is the fact that it has distortion control. You have up to seven stops of distortion control and I feel like every stop you move the lens it gives you a different feel and makes you feel like you’re shooting with a totally different lens” | | —Alexandru Don |
