The focusing mechanism minimizes “mumps,” so that faces retain their natural shape during focusing. While the lenses are vintage in their nature, they still retain sharpness very well, and their housings are modern and robust when compared to older anamorphic housings.

The Petzvalux are a set of full frame, LPL-mount lenses that feature modern optics based on vintage Petzval lens designs. They feature a “tuning ring” on the front of the lens that provides a tunable Petzval look. This allows the user to tune the intensity of the sharpness, fall-off, and Petzval bokeh effect. This set was designed by Ancient Optics to include additional focal lengths than are normally available in the Petzval family, adding a 27mm, 38mm, and 120mm.

The Phénix is a parfocal compact lightweight cinema zoom lens rehoused from the original Tokina 28-70mm AT-X stills lens produced in the early ‘90s and based on Angenieux 28-70mm design. Its zoom range is great for the size and weight, and it covers full frame. The original Tokina design features a relatively complex focus and zoom movements, making it very difficult to rehouse. Iron Glass was able to crack the complexity of the design and successfully rehouse this beautiful lens, retaining its beauty while upgrading it in many necessary ways. The result is a sharp lens with attractive fall off at the edges and textured bokeh. It features a new 15 blade iris design, modern gearing on the focus and iris scales, along with a new robust housing. The Phénix pairs nicely with Canon FD’s, Minolta Rokkor, Leica-R’s, Nikon’s, and many other vintage primes.
