Simple 90 Camera Lens

ATTENTION: current lead time on Simple 90 lenses is about 2 weeks from your order date  (PLEASE NOTE:  Select which mount you want in the menu above before adding to cart.  Cine version with built in 0.8 gears for focus motors are now available.  ) I had an idea about a year ago.  What if I designed a lens that renounced the complicated designs of modern lenses and embraced some beautiful optical flaws, while controlling for uglier ones?  In pursuit of that idea, I came up with the simple 90. This lens uses just two glass elements, arranged in a cemented achromatic doublet. The result is a dreamy, distinctive rendering that’s tack-sharp in the center and gradually softens toward the edges. Wide open at f/2.8, the effect is prominent. Stopping down to f/11 brings more control, but the signature look remains. The lens uses an aperture chip system (sometimes known as a Waterhouse stop). Each camera comes with three aperture chips, f2.8, f5.6, and f11.  I am also making 3d printable files
