V35 Project - DZO Tarkumarles Primes

Northwest Camera Co. has put up an overview of their latest addition to the V35 Project, the new DZO Arles primes. Northwest Camera Co. is calling them the Tarkumarles Primes as they take heavy inspiration from the Pentax Super Takumars of the past.

By using the new DZO Arles Primes as a base, Northwest Camera Co. have attempted to create a vintage Takumar inspired set that feature soft falloff, low contrast, veiling glare, as well as warmer tones and flares. They are also said to have creamy yet textured Bokeh, mild edge falloff, and wide open glow.
