If you are passionate about rare lenses, here’s a treat for you. A Berthiot Monital 130mm f/1.0 cine lens is currently being sold on eBay. Other than being very rare and having a wide aperture, it has a pretty unique trait: it produces triangular bokeh.
The seller describes the lens as being in good condition, with “beautiful original coating” with a few marks. According to the listing, the original aperture “works perfectly.”
In the posting, you can see a sample image taken with a Sony A7s. The triangular bokeh sure looks interesting and unusual. But because of the lens’ rarity, it comes with a high price tag. The current offer is €16,000, or approximately $18,455. If you have $18,500 to spare, go ahead and place your offer. Those with a limited budget could perhaps look into getting this cheap lens with square bokeh, or just DIY the triangular shape bokeh. Or any other shape, for that matter. [via Sony Alpha Rumors]
