Lomography unveils Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 Bokeh Lens for Z, E, RF

Lomography has launched the Nour Triplet V 2.0/64 "Bokeh Control Art" lens for Nikon Z, Sony E and Canon RF full-frame mirrorless mounts, a manually operated triplet design with a maximum aperture of f/2.0, an aperture range of f/2.0 to f/16, and an interface that switches between three distinct spherical-aberration effects, Nikonrumors and Shop Lomography report. Nikonrumors describes the implementation precisely: "Sharpen your subject’s appearance beyond focus using the control knob to precisely switch between three different effects," and notes the lens includes six special drop-in aperture plates for further tonal shaping.

Optical construction is explicitly billed as a triplet-inspired layout: the copy states the lens is "inspired by Ibn al-Haytham and the Cooke Triplet lens" and uses "three groups of five optical elements" to produce its characteristic output, according to Nikonrumors and Shop Lomography. Shop Lomography frames the product as creative tooling, calling it "the world’s first full-frame mirrorless lens fully dedicated to spherical aberration control" and promising three image styles described as "alluring soft-focus, classic diffused backdrops or powerful soap bubbles." Level 3, the "bubble" setting, is singled out in the marketing as producing "a distinctive soap bubble texture" behind a sharply rendered subject.

Lomography is offering the Nour Triplet in two finishes: a historically inspired brass version and a black aluminium version. Studioc41 and shop listings list the Kickstarter campaign as the initial sales channel for backers — Studioc41 states early-bird pricing of 335 USD for the black aluminium lens and 410 USD for the brass variant, with final retail prices listed as 449 USD and 549 USD respectively and an explicit claim of 25% savings on early-bird pledges and a delivery option before December 24, 2023. At the same time, Nikonrumors and an Original Report note that pre-orders are open at retailers such as B&H Photo and that B&H listings show availability in both brass and aluminum.

Retail and campaign messaging do not reconcile timeline details in the supplied material: Studioc41 and Tiny Bubbles both say the lens "launched yesterday" on Kickstarter without providing a calendar date, while Nikonrumors states pre-orders are "now open at B&H Photo." The supplied sources also omit common spec sheet items: there are no published weight, dimensions, filter thread size, minimum focus distance, or MTF charts in the excerpts.

Creators and editorial coverage accompany the launch on Lomography’s channels: Lomography Magazine runs a "First Impressions" piece with Lou Guarneri of Sweet Lou Photography, and Shop Lomography highlights Paco Manalo and director Leto in practical tests and portrait work. Tiny Bubbles places the Nour Triplet among recent "interesting bokeh" optics such as the TTArtisans 100mm f/2.8 "Soap Bubble" and the Helios 44, noting Lomography’s prior Daguerreotype Achromat 64mm f/2.9 Kickstarter.

For buyers the headline decision points are clear in the available copy: a manual, triplet-based 64mm-styled optic with three-way spherical-aberration control, six drop-in apertures, and brass or black aluminium SKUs priced from an early-bird $335 to a retail $549. Sources in the supplied material leave open verification items most photographers will want confirmed — exact launch date, whether retail units include the six plates, full technical datasheet and regional shipping details — before committing to a purchase.
