Each focal length is available in three tuning options \u2014 <strong>S (Straight)<\/strong>, <strong>T (Transient)<\/strong>, and <strong>X (Expressive)<\/strong> \u2014, which allow parameters such as sharpness, contrast, roll-off, spherical aberration, field curvature, edge halation, and flare to be configured, in a way analogous to how an equaliser controls the frequency spectrum in music production. The set we offer corresponds to the <strong>T-Transient<\/strong> tuning: the midpoint between the neutrality of the S and the extreme expressiveness of the X.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the legendary <strong>thorium effect<\/strong> \u2014 the radioactive mineral used in the manufacture of optical glass in the 1950s and 60s that gave lenses a unique amber tone and unparalleled flares \u2014, the BLACKWING7 lenses revive that effect through an updated, non-radioactive formulation in the form of a \u00abskin\u00bb that wraps the glass and gives the image a warm, organic, and entirely unique character.
