175 Years of Petzval Legacy Competition Winners

11

Last year, we celebrated the 175th anniversary of the legendary Petzval with a grand competition featuring photographs taken with Lomography’s rendition of this revolutionary optics: the New Petzval 85 Art Lens. We received almost 600 show-stopping entries, which went under the keen scrutiny of a panel from Lomography and guest judges Geoffrey Berliner, executive director of Penumbra Foundation, Chris Pollard, Matthieu Soudet, and Issa Ng.

Choosing the top photos was a tough call given the variety of techniques and creative twists the participants used to highlight the lens’ signature swirl. And after a long deliberation, here are the winning Petzval masterpieces.
