Overview

The Rittron (Noritar) 80mm f/2 lens is a rare medium-format lens known for its unique rendering and fast aperture, often compared to a 'medium format Noctilux'. Optically, it delivers a soft glow wide open with good sharpness when focus is accurate, and impressive sharpness stopped down, with rich contrast and cooler tones. Build is heavy but well-made; however, handling is challenging due to dim viewfinder and complex aperture control via adapter. It suits photographers seeking distinctive bokeh and low-light performance, but quirks like shutter curtain bounce at high speeds may deter some.
