Meyer Optik Görlitz Biotar 58mm f/1.5 II
The Biotar 58 f1.5 II revives a beloved classic with modern precision, offering an updated take on one of the most iconic lenses in photographic history. Originally launched in the 1930s and favored for decades, this new version preserves the swirling bokeh and signature character of the original while enhancing sharpness, contrast, and low-light performance. Thanks to a redesigned optical system and an improved maximum aperture of f1.5, the lens delivers outstanding resolution and subtle image compression that flatters subjects across a variety of settings.
Ideal for both stills and motion, the Biotar 58 f1.5 II excels in portraiture, fashion, architecture, and even macro work, offering exceptional flexibility. Its characteristic background swirl, three-dimensional subject separation, and painterly falloff give your images a distinct mood—especially in backlit or low-light environments. Whether wide open for dramatic bokeh or stopped down for fine edge-to-edge detail, this lens invites creative exploration well beyond the limits of modern clinical optics.
Available in a wide range of mount options including Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Leica L, and more. (Mounts are not user-interchangeable.)
