New Lens Features
Brightin Star's MF 50mm F2.0 Tri-Sight lens has user-selectable rendering modes for out-of-focus highlights.
“Choose from Smooth bokeh (soft highlights), Prime (sharper, more defined highlights), or Foams (dreamy, bubble-like light flares)”
How It Works
A dedicated control ring adjusts a floating lens group to change bokeh style by altering light convergence.
“This moves a floating group of lens elements back or forth within the barrel to vary the focus distance, altering the convergence characteristics of light rays passing through the lens.”
Aperture Inserts
Four circular plate inserts create butterfly, star, triangle, or four-leaf clover shapes for out-of-focus highlights.
“These turn what would otherwise be round out of focus highlights into a choice of butterfly, star, triangle, or four-leaf clover shapes.”
Unique Mounting
Brightin Star unscrews a locking ring to fit inserts, unlike standard drop-in 37.5mm filters.
“Rather than slotting them down into the barrel, you unscrew a locking ring at the lens mount, fit the plate, then re-attach the ring.”
Physical Specs
The lens weighs 429g to 454g, measures 70mm to 74mm, and has an 11-blade de-clicked aperture.
“Weight ranges between 429g and 454g, and length between 70mm and 74mm, depending on mount option.”
Availability
Available now for Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-mount cameras at $349.99 or £263.99.
