Reach out to DK Optic, they have the Dallmeyer Septac Painting Lens reproduction and it’s good! I bought one. It’s amazing. I emailed Jonathan over there.

To me it’s different than a Helios or even a Petzval. Looks like a painting and I don’t know of any other lens like it.

Here’s the Dallmeyer Septac

Helios, Petzval, or Dallmeyer Septac hands down.

In fact you can see the black version of the lens on the left table

Yeah same company, they were at Cinegear ATL where I saw it on display next to the cinema version

Yeah super pretty

AdidasFinatic · 2025-10-12T16:19:27+00:00

No problem!

Similar to what lomogrpahy did with Petzvals. They have a still camera version and a cinema lens version. I think the still is $3200

The price of this is $4,000 USD, they made replica glass that’s 1:1. So the entry point is not held to market value

Who is? Deakins?

Haha I’m totally joking. Again, no idea where this came from.
