The MasterBuilt Portrait Lens Series is designed to recreate the beauty and richness of images from the 1930’s and 1940’s. True to its name, the 100MM T1.4 Portrait Lens  bears the elements  that made actors and actresses glow on screen. With pronounced edge softness and a “swirly” - PETZVAL type background, the MasterBuilt PortraitLens is an immediate force. Likened to the legendary George Hurrell MGM Studio photography, the Portrait series gives skin-tones glowing expanded highlights and painterly tones. True to function, when stopped down (smaller F-stop ratings) the lens has the ability to push sharpness and detail to outstanding quality while preserving the original spirit.
