Item Description
120/3.8 Petzval Portrait Lens in Pentax 645 Mount

Focal length: 120mm
Aperture range: 3.8 to 16
Image circle of coverage: 80mm
Close focus: 85cm

Focus type: manual
Mount: Pentacon 6 adapted to Pentax 645
Filter thread: 72mm

Length: 126mm
Weight: 560g


Included: lens, front lens cap, rear lens cap.

This is lens 27 of a very limited series of lenses made by camera engineer, Denys Ivanichek in 2013. I believe there were less than 100 of these lenses made, making them very rare.

Lens can be used on Pentax 645 cameras (that's my 645N in the photos... it's not included!) and of course can be adapted to other cameras (Nikon adaptation shown for illustration purposes... adapter and Nikon not included!).

Petzval lenses give a swirly bokeh and blurred corners due to the lens design. You can read more about the design here: Petzval lens - Wikipedia


Perfect for portraits or for obtaining a 19th century feel.

As the advert says....

"Lens can be used on Pentax 645 cameras (that's my 645N in the photos... it's not included!) and of course can be adapted to other cameras (Nikon adaptation shown for illustration purposes... adapter and Nikon not included!)."

Is this a standalone P6 to 645 adapter or has the lens been modified to 645 mount?

It is a standard adapter from Arax Photo. I bought it and my camera service shop put it on and measured flange depth etc. for proper focusing. The lens itself is a native P6 mount.
