- In this video I share my thoughts on the new Lomography Nour Art Lens, or to give it it's full name, the 'Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens by Hasan Ibn al-Haytham, Cairo, c.1021 CE'
I share my thoughts on the prototype model that I was sent prior to full production and who I feel this lens is for.

A huge thanks to Lomography for loaning me the prototype, to Jake Smithies for modelling and to Sam Binstead for assisting and filming. @lomographicsociety @sambinstead6611

This lens' optical design remembers me on the wonderful Voigtlaender Universal-Heliar, also a triplet with 5 lenses and the ability to move the biconcave center lens to get a smooth contrast reduction
Yeah these portraits slap! I can take or leave the bokeh filters but love the depth in rendering of subject and background.
Thanks Sam! Yeah the spherical aberration control is definitely the big thing for me too!
Thanks so much for this Andrew!
Thanks Hannah! Got the ‘92 roll through today too! ☺️🙌🏼📸🎞️
What a great video review! Also, your portraits are really nice by any standard!
Thank you so much! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for the insight..the "bubble Bokeh" is probably the best one, and worth it alone for that and trying out this lens..but the "soft bokeh"..is probably the weak point..lol in my opinion..if you show this to "regular people/non photographers"..it just comes off as the photo was out of focus.. its just too much effect of being "soft"..this is a "specific usage lens of course ..yes its an "artsy" and creative look than "normal" stuff for sure....lol wish they would have not included the "soft bokeh"..but instead tried to figure out a way to have the "swirly bokeh" instead..like the vintage Helios 44-2...haha
I agree that the bubble is a great selling point! I suppose that having three different options allows more potential users!
@@AndrewMclean Did you find "focusing" with the "soft bokeh" switched to on..a little more difficult than the other "modes" of bokeh..Magnify Manual Assist/Peaking On helpful?..thanks
Great video. Thank you. Which one do you prefer? Am thinking about buying this or the petzeval.
Amazing video Andrew. Thanks. I’ll be sure to try it out when I do my next video portrait shoot. Take care. And as always. I’ll see you in the next video.
lomography has a long history of releasing interesting products that are priced at least 30% too high to make them worth exploring. without the drop-in plates, this lens might be an interesting addition to a portraiture setup, but even at the kickstarter early bird price it is a hard sell. for $335, i'd rather just pick up one or more of the many pieces of vintage glass that offer interesting character for portraiture at a fraction of the price.
edit: i'm also surprised they didn't release this as an m42 mount. it would have made things significantly more easy for them and for their customers.
I definitely agree that vintage lenses can offer similar character for sometimes much less money, however obviously they come with risk owing to their age. I think that the final RRP is a touch high, if it was going live at around the EB price or a touch higher, the build quality would justify that for me personally. Thanks for your input!
Great points..yes this is so overpriced for sure!.even though they offer these "creative bokeh" features the price point is high...Yes like a classic Helios 44-2!..lens is great for the price point!..and has its own "characteristics"..enjoying my Helios for sure!..
Hassan bin Haitham ir Iraqi not Egyptian,he born in Basrah
My mistake, although he lived much of his life in Cairo, he was born and grew up in Basra as you state. 👍🏼👍🏼
HOW ON EARTH THEY DID NOT MADE A LMOUNT NOOOOOOO
Definitely missing a trick there! Should work ok with an adapter though! 🙌🏼
