Image characteristics of each plate and sample images
An example of a photograph taken with the phase-type zone plate 4L-A.
It utilizes light diffraction to achieve bright, high-resolution images, with sharp center and soft, blurred edges, enveloping the entire subject in a gentle light.
Compared to amplitude-type lenses, this lens produces brighter, more transparent images, reproducing natural gradation and three-dimensionality. The soft halo gently highlights the subject's outline, creating an expression that evokes a sense of balance between reality and fantasy.
With the most balanced optical characteristics of all the ZNONZ II lenses, you can get an image that combines softness and resolution.
An example of a photograph taken with the phase-type zone plate 4L-B.
High transmittance and precise phase design enable bright, clear images and soft bokeh.
The subject's contours are delicately defined, while the light gently blends, creating a natural sense of three-dimensionality and depth.
Haloing is reduced more than with the phase zone plate 4L-A, and the balance between resolution and airiness is excellent.
This is the most refined plate in the ZNONZ II series, depicting real landscapes as "poetic reality."
Example of phase type zone plate 2L.
It features the soft depiction that is unique to zone plates that utilize the diffraction of light, and the clear focus in the center and the faint halo that spreads to the periphery create a fantastical atmosphere.
It is brighter than the amplitude type and has improved resolution. Rather than focusing on the three-dimensionality of the subject, you can enjoy a unique worldview that depicts the very existence of air and light.
This is an example of photography using an amplitude-type Fibonacci zone plate.
The partially light-transmitting structure softly blends the contours of the subject, creating a fantastical atmosphere reminiscent of a painting.
Compared to the phase type, the tone is more subdued, and the depth and stillness of the shadows are more pronounced, giving it the nostalgic texture of film photography.
The soft, diffused light in the natural light gently abstracts the real landscape, creating a unique worldview.
You can enjoy delicate and poetic depictions that are a little different from the zone plate installed in the ZNONZ I.
