Limited Edition Aperture Plates

Complete with a set of limited edition gold-plated aperture plates to create incredible Lomographic lens flares, or keep them as a collectable photography accessory.



The Daguerreotype Achromat is directly inspired by the world’s first photographic optic lens – a 19th century invention created by Charles Chevalier for the Daguerreotype camera. Almost two centuries later, we’ve reworked it as a powerful tool for modern-day photographers and cinematographers.

Celebrating the great return of dreamy imagery, you can alternate between razor-sharp images, or drape your world in silky soft focus. Control depth of field in a whole new way – with endless bokeh effects and the brand new Lumière and Aquarelle Waterhouse Aperture Plates. Master light, diverse moods, and dramatic special effects.

Designed and handcrafted in a small manufactory, the Achromat lens has been reinvented for use with modern-day digital and analogue cameras – available in Canon EF, Nikon F or Pentax K SLR mounts, and compatible with a multitude of other cameras using adapter mounts. The lens is available in a sleek brass, black or chrome-plated finish.

All the way from the eye-catching design down to the very smallest detail, the technical features of the Daguerreotype have been fine-tuned to provide an incredible photographic experience.

Holy crowdfunding success Batman! Lomography has done it again, and by “done it” we mean launched an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign.
