Ancient Optics Tamashii 42mm T2
Summary
Tamashii is an idea first conceived by Mark LaFleur of Old Fast Glass in collaboration with Ancient Optics and ZERØ OPTIK.
The goal: a complete set of vintage full frame lenses from roughly 20mm to 100mm that share a cohesive look, sharp enough wide open for demanding projects, but still flattering. Lens flares needed to be expressive and gorgeous without overwhelming the image, and without feeling modern. Bokeh needed to be textured, and impressionistic, but never busy or distracting and the lenses had to have little to no chromatic aberration.
Tamashii means “soul” in Japanese.
