F-92 2/92mm projection lens in Arri PL focusing mount
Interesting lens with shallow depth of field. Great for portraits and close-ups. It produces a pleasant, soft image with nice bokeh.
About the base lens
The F-92 is 2/92mm multicoated projection lens used in slide projector LETI-60M for 36x24mm film frame size.
The lens will cover even larger sensor, including Fuji GFX (44x33mm), though resolution beyond the target 36x24mm area will be lower than 50 lines per mm.
The lens optical design is Planar, consisting of 6 elements in 4 groups. It produces a nice soft image.
The back focus is long enough to adapt the lens to any modern SLR or non-reflex digital camera.
There is no iris diaphragm, and the lens aperture if always fully open therefore.
Resolution is 100 lines per mm in the center, and 50 lpmm at the edge.
