NEWS: Omnar Bertele FLB 50mm f/2 – Finally Announced

Those who follow what I get up to will know I am half of Omnar Lenses. Well, today we finally announced the Omnar Bertele. I will save you all the waffle, as it can all be read on the product page on our website – suffice to say, I am very excited! Not only is this lens a Sonnar formula optic, but the it’s the first lens using our own glass and – even more awesome – it’s the first 50mm Sonnar formula lens that – thanks to our FLB system – doesn’t suffer the dreaded focus shift.

I wrote about my experiences with Sonnar lenses a few years ago where I was trying to find my perfect Sonnar… well, little did I know at the time I would be eventually part responsible for bringing my perfect Sonnar to market. Of course, the credit really is Chris’s – he’s the real genius… but being part of it is very exciting. If you have any interest in lenses, have a read of what we have to say here on the website, and then if you really want to geek out, check out the corresponding white paper on our FLB system here…

… and of course feel free to fire questions at me here! Very happy to be talking about this lens!!
