Скачать или смотреть This Lens Isn’t Sharp — And That’s Why I Love It「Petzval 35mm F2」

Modern lenses are incredible.
They’re sharp, clean, fast, and technically flawless.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something uncomfortable:
the better my lenses got, the less my images felt like mine.

In this video, I talk about the Petzval 35mm F2 — a lens that refuses to be modern.
No autofocus. No electronics. Swirling edges, optical flaws, unpredictable light behavior.

And yet, it does something most modern lenses don’t:
it brings emotion back into the frame.

This isn’t a technical review.
It’s a conversation about why imperfection, limitation, and optical character still matter —
especially if you’re a photographer or filmmaker who feels stuck making “correct” images.

If you’ve ever felt like your photos are sharp but empty,
this video might resonate with you.
