Fast-Aperture Normal-Range Prime. The Meyer Optik Gorlitz 58mm f/1.9 II Primoplan boasts a focal length that’s a blend of normal and short-portrait, making it a great high-quality option for both full-frame and crop-frame shooters. Its fast aperture gives you extensive depth-of-field control for working with selective-focusing techniques, and enables you to shoot in low light. Using an APS-C camera? You’ll get an 87mm equivalent focal length.

Advanced Optical Design. Each individual element in this lens’s four-group/five-element optical system is made from coated Schott or O’Hara optical glass to produce sharpness, clarity, and accurate color rendering in any lighting conditions.

Versatile, Artistic Bokeh Effects. A rounded fourteen-blade diaphragm helps produce an artistic bokeh effect that varies depending on the aperture setting. With maximum aperture, you get a distinctive swirling bokeh with lights flowing into one another. When stopped down, you get a smooth effect with more detail in the blur.

Manual-Focus Design. The 58mm f/1.9’s manual-focus only design lets you make precision adjustments, while its two-foot minimum focusing distance enables you to get in reasonably close.
