Richard Gale’s Clavius primes stand out as handcrafted optics that balance technical performance with a hint of artistic imprint. Limited runs and hand-selected elements result in a set that’s as much a curated experience as a lens series. What truly sets these lenses apart are their innovative aperture disk inserts, elevating them to a whole new level. While the 1.5x, 2x, and 3x oval disks are the most popular for producing a beautifully authentic anamorphic bokeh, there’s much more to explore. The collection includes colored inserts and an array of 20 unique FX disks, offering creative options like soft focus, subtle distortions, and other distinctive visual effects. To ensure seamless consistency, multiple copies of the most popular aperture disks are provided, allowing the entire lens set to be pre-configured with matching inserts for a perfectly uniform look.
