Capture three distinct image styles in one lens

This unique Lomography Nour Triplet V2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens pays homage to the fascinating but forgotten scientist, Hasan Ibn al-Haytham who lived in around 1021 in Cairo, Egypt. He was the first to unveil, and meticulously recorded the enigma of spherical aberrations, al-Haytham is the trailblazer of modern optics.

Key features of Lomography Nour Triplet V2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens

• Compatible with full-frame mirrorless Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E mount cameras.
• Available in a historic brass design and a sleek black aluminium version.
• Optimal for portraits with a 64 mm focal length.
• Maximum aperture of f/2.0 for a beautifully shallow depth of field and excellent low-light performance.
• Special-shaped rear drop-in aperture plates for exquisite bokeh effects.
• Modern helicoid focusing mechanism for quick operation and easy integration with filmmaking gear
• Unique spherical aberration control knob for three powerful bokeh effects:

1. Soft: timeless, ethereal scenes stand out with softened light and a slight swirl.
2. Classic: elevates a sharp subject against an enchanting diffused backdrop.
3. Bubble: creates mesmerizing separation between your subject and backdrop with bubble-shaped bokeh texture.

Lens for powerful portraiture & videography

The Lomography Nour Triplet V2.0/64 Bokeh Control Art Lens has versatile focal length of 64mm, making it perfect for striking portraits. Featuring a unique spherical aberration control knob, subjects shine dramatically against three distinctive backdrops and signature special-shaped Lomography drop-in aperture plates allow for additional stunning bokeh effects. 

For videography, the control knob allows powerful transitions between a soft-focus glow and a sharp three-dimensional effect featuring beautiful soap bubble bokeh. Silent stopless focus and aperture rings, along with optional follow-focus gear rings, provide precise control for capturing emotions and creating stunning cinematographic effects in-camera, giving total control over any scene.

Exposing 30 Years of Lomography History and Heritage!

The story of Lomography began in November 1992, let’s start exposing 30 years of Lomography history and heritage! The fine Lomographic Society International was founded in the grand-old city of Vienna, Austria. There was a dignified “10 Golden Rules of Lomography”, it was published in the Wiener Zeitung – one of the oldest newspapers in the world(!) – and at the first venerable “everyone is an artist” LomoWall a couple of thousand Lomographs were shown.

It all began with the discovery of the quirky little Lomo LC-A camera by some unbrushed happy-go-luck students in Prague that had officially become the global Lomographic movement that we know of today. If you do your maths correctly from 1992, Lomography is now 30 years old and they are proud to be an eccentric, free, wonderful, enthusiastic, creative, experimental, social, wonderful Lomography Community, uniting millions of analogue admirers from around the world who are keen to help us keep film photography alive!

Limited Edition Anniversary Lomo LC-A Cameras 

To kickstart 30 years of Lomography celebrations and this momentous occasion, Lomography is releasing special editions of their beloved Lomo LC-A family cameras – the Lomo LC-A+, Lomo LC-Wide and Lomo LC-A 120. These special editions are all dressed in a unique handcrafted leather design with a colourful metal emblem to commemorate 30 years of breaking the rules.

These metal emblems will also be available as collectible Lomography Pins, Magnets and Stickers. Available in very limited quantities only, our anniversary edition Lomo LC-A cameras and accessories will help Lomographers around the world show off their love for Lomography and get involved with the Lomographic state of mind!

What is signature Lomography aesthetic feel from the LC-A family cameras like?

Since Lomographers stumbled upon the original Lomo LC-A in a quirky, old-school, modest camera shop and started shooting from the hop while touring Prague in 1991, they returned to Vienna and had a sh*tload of film developed in their favourite supermarket and discovered strangely beautiful images.

Over the past 30 years, Lomo LC-A photos are unique and distinct with its own signature Lomography aesthetic style, unmistakable photographs bursting with life, filled with deep saturation, punchy contrast and shadowy vignettes. Today, the Lomo LC-A family cameras are well-loved snap-shooting legends across the world.

With lightning-fast zone focusing, on-point automatic exposure, compact size, robust analogue looks and the all-important legendary lenses, the Lomo LC-A family cameras are a sought-after Lomography classic ready for all sorts of experimentation – a must-have in any photographer’s arsenal.
