Blue light passing through a transparent prism will bend or refract more than the same red light part of the ray. The result is what is known as chromatic aberration. The falling position of the ray will affect our distortion, it is therefore with the insertion of the negative part (a concave lens) that chromatic aberration can be corrected.

Berlin based photographer Antonio Castello hit the red carpet of the Berlinale this year with the Nour Triplet Art Lens. In addition to the impressive photos he took with our latest lens, he shared some insights about what it's like to work in a crowd of hundreds of photographers.

Lomography's new art lens, the Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens, comes with a dedicated spherical aberration control knob for three powerful bokeh effects. What does the bubble bokeh really look like? Take a look at this gallery!

The first National Lighthouse Lens Survey was released in 2001 at the Sixth Maritime Heritage Conference in Wilmington, N.C. It listed more than 400 classical Fresnel lighthouse lenses in the United States, and two pre-Fresnel, Winslow Lewis lenses. The inventory was a compilation of databases researched by Mike Vogel of the Buffalo Lighthouse Association and the American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee, and by Al and Helen Gademsky of Ohio.

Last time we spoke with Lou Guarneri was back in 2022, so we knew that the launch of our Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens on Kickstarter was the perfect opportunity to catch up with him while collaborating with our latest lens.

Some years ago Chad Kaiser of the US Lighthouse Society ran across a photograph of what was supposed to be the most powerful lighthouse in the world at 1 billion candlepower.  Yes, that is billion not million.  I became intrigued and started researching this light and its history.  This story will describe this very unusual lighthouse in France and how it came to be.  It is actually not a true lighthouse at all.  Instead it is an example of one of the earliest and most powerful Airway Beacons ever built.  But, first we need to understand a little more about air

Not all light rays are created equal. Blue rays will have different wavelengths to red rays. Since all transparent materials are dispersive, the index of refraction increases as you move towards the blue spectrum of light.

Most lighthouse enthusiasts think that the Fresnel lens was the first lens used in lighthouses.  However, that assumption is incorrect in that a number of lenses were proposed and put into use in the years before Augustin Fresnel designed his famous lens.  This story will give you information about these early attempts to use lenses to augment the power of lighthouse optics.

The French Commission for Lighthouses was established on April 29, 1811.  In 1819, Arago who had become a member of the French Commission for Lighthouses in 1813, offered to make a systematic review of possible improvements in lighthouse illumination.  He requested that Claude Mathieu and Augustin Fresnel be assigned as his coworkers on the project.  His request was granted on June 21, 1819, and Augustin agreed to serve on the committee.

Architect and Lomographer @virgile76 speaks with us about his personal history with film, life in the countryside, and the co-existence of his passions for architecture and analogue photography.

Playing with spherical aberration, we can control the effects by over-correcting or minimally correcting the distortion. On one side, there is what is called a soap bubble bokeh look. Where it shows this effect, the aberration is over-corrected. On the other side of the spectrum, with minimal correction, the lens will render a soft focus glow across the frame.

Fresnel lenses represent a unique aspect of U.S. Coast Guard history.  These artifacts are highly sought by a wide variety of museums and associations.  Due to their historic significance, fragility, high value and the U.S. Coast Guard’s policy to protect and preserve these artifacts, an additional set of conditions is placed upon prospective borrowing organizations.  Requirements for the care, security and display of Fresnel lenses are as follows:

There are different types of aberrations which can affect the sharpness, focus, magnification, distortion, and color of an image. Our lens has a triplet structure as its core design. This simple structure can correct most aberrations, however we have selected this formation and focused our new lens to operate with one in particular, spherical aberration.

The Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens features a spherical aberration control knob that allows you to move from right to left through the center of the lens, and get three different looks in one. So how is this possible?

This feature can be more visibly pronounced at night. We can use neon signs and light bulbs to create wonderfully defined round shapes. Any kind of small bulb will be the best motif for your subject's background. The wider open your lens is, the more pronounced the effect will be, since the convergence of the light is not guided through a small aperture that would help the light to be channeled.

A while back, we sent photographer Brian Cho one of our Atoll Ultra-Wide 2.8/17 Art Lenses to test out, in a place none other than New York City. He's here today to chat with us about what he's been up to and his experience shooting with the lens!

On the other side of spherical aberration control is the under-correction result that leaves light rays scattered and not converging toward the center. The sharpness at the edges of our objects and subjects is the first quality altered. This effect invokes the feeling of softness.

We worked to give photographers the beauty of the triplet lens system, and the versatility of bokeh control. When placed in the center, this lens is able to provide a correct image, thus allowing a clean, classic look to cover every possible scenario when telling a story.

Spherical aberration occurs because spherical surfaces are not the most functional shapes to make a lens. Nonetheless they are the simplest shape to which glass can be ground and polished, and therefore are often used. Spherical aberration causes beams parallel to, but distant from, the lens axis to be focused in a slightly different place than beams close to the axis. This manifests itself as a blurring of the image. And when over-corrected, this effect results in marked lines across the background of an image.

The English and Scottish lighthouse authorities wanted to produce all Fresnel lenses and other lighthouse equipment in their own country and persuaded the Cookson Glass Company to begin production of Fresnel lenses in 1834. Cookson brought in Leonor Fresnel, Augustin’s brother, as a consultant and produced Fresnel lenses from individual pieces and prisms as done by the French lens companies.  The first of these better designed Fresnel lenses, built by the Cookson Co., was installed in Scotland in 1835, in the Inchkeith lighthouse.

When building a lens, one must consider aberrations that require corrections. These optical imperfections in the glass react to the light in different ways, dispersing the rays. First discovered by Hasan Ibn al-Haytham, the law of refraction is the first step in understanding the aberrations that occurs when light enters an object. In short, it is the behavior of light passing through a transparent object that does not converge to a single point.

Ignite the legacy of a fascinating but forgotten scientist, Ibn al-Haytham, and become a master of light with this unique lens designed for spherical aberration control on full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Below is a listing of the major changes in the Fresnel lens through time and in most cases who the creator of each change was.

The soft focus effect will express a delicate feeling of charm and mystery. This feature is immediately visible throughout the image, and as soon as you frame the scene, you will see the results. The image will be in focus but that the diffusion effect of the scattering light gives a sublime and delicate aura to the picture.

The focal length of a lens is the optical distance (usually measured in mm) from the point where the light meets inside the lens to the camera's sensor.

Photographer Bitdam takes us on a journey with the Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens, capturing scenes that resemble a blur of memories that fade over time.

Many companies were involved in the development and refinement of the Fresnel lens.  Some supplied only the glass for the lenses, either in rough form, or both cast and polished.  Other companies assembled the glass elements and performed finish work on the lens elements.  Still other companies produced both the glass and the finished lenses.  This story will be divided into several parts, each discussing one or more of these companies and their contribution to the development of the Fresnel lens.

The convenience of changing effects so quickly makes this lens a jack of all trades for any photographer. Use this lens like a painter uses brushes, every stroke can help creators make unforgettable images.

There are also framing choices that allow bokeh effects to be clearly visible in a picture. For example, when the light coming behind a tree refracts, this creates a rich texture for the bokeh to be visible. Over-correcting the effect implies that the ray will pass over the center, ending up in the out-of-focus areas to look like a pencil has drawn a ring around your bokeh.

The German government etched symbols onto the prisms of their Fresnel Lenses. This is the story of those symbols. The German government marked most of their lenses with a government certification symbol. Before 1933 and the Nazi Reich, the symbols used were the German Imperial Eagle and a symbol that looked like a castle, which represented the German Seamarks Service. These marks were etched onto the lens glass to certify that the lens met the requirements for government usage.
