  • PositiveIdeal fixed focal length (not only) for portraits with very pronounced and harmonious bokeh thanks to the large aperture.
  • NegativeIf you focus manually, you have to check very carefully where to focus at f/1.8 - you should also keep an eye on the autofocus.

The new portrait focal length from Rollei produces images with a real character of their own and a high recognition value. The bokeh at open aperture is perfect without compromising on resolution. We are looking forward to this first addition to the family soon!
