The Dallmeyer 1A lens is a well-regarded portrait lens from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was commonly used for studio photography, especially portraits. The 1A uses the classic Petzval lens formula, which is renowned for its dreamy, artistic rendering. It produces a sharp central focus with pronounced fall-off towards the edges, leading to a characteristic swirly bokeh. This effect creates a visually striking separation between the subject and background, ideal for portrait photography
