The optical formula is closely related to the respected Meyer-Optik\/Pentacon standard lens designs that became well known for their natural color rendition, pleasing contrast and smooth out-of-focus rendering. Today these lenses have become increasingly popular among cinematographers thanks to their organic vintage character that differs noticeably from modern clinical optics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis lens has been carefully fully cleaned, adjusted, re-lubricated and professionally converted to Canon EF mount.
