Brightin Star Tri-Sight Lens Controls Bokeh
New lens lets photographers adjust bokeh style with slider and discs.
In brief
New lens lets photographers adjust bokeh style with slider and discs. Brightin Star's 50mm f/2.0 Tri-Sight lens offers three bokeh styles via slider and drop-in discs for custom out-of-focus effects. Originally reported by Digital Camera World.
Brightin Star MF 50mm f/2.0 Tri-Sight Lens
This multi-mount, metal lens controls bokeh bubbles with a slider.
“The Brightin Star MF 50mm f/2.0 Tri-Sight is a full-frame lens built around bokeh control”
Three Bokeh Styles
Photographers choose from prime, foams, or smooth settings for out-of-focus areas.
“The Prime setting is a standard mode for sharp subjects and well-defined, circular bokeh in the background”
Foams Setting
Creates well-defined edges on bokeh balls, sometimes called onion ring bokeh.
“Brighton Star says this setting also creates dreamy lens flares”
Smooth Setting
Produces softer, larger bokeh from points of light with a dreamy overall look.
“This setting also creates a softer overall look, much like using a diffusion filter”
Drop-in Discs
Lens ships with discs that shape bokeh including triangular, star, butterfly, and four-leaf clover shapes.
“Using cut-outs to shape bokeh is a common photography trick, but Brightin Star is building the feature into the lens with a rear insert”
Multi-Mount Availability
Available in Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-Mount with lengths from 7 to 7.4cm.
“While the size varies slightly by mount, Brighton Star calls it a compact lens, with the length of the lens varying from 7 cm to 7.4cm depending on the mount”
Price and Availability
Retails for $399 / £302 (about AU$572 / CA$566) with pre-orders opening now.
“If the Brightin Star MF 50mm f/2.0 Tri-Sight sounds familiar, that's because the lens was first teased as a prototype earlier this year”
Here's the gist
Brightin Star's 50mm f/2.0 Tri-Sight lens offers three bokeh styles via slider and drop-in discs for custom out-of-focus effects.
