    Overview

    The Dallmeyer Super-Six Anastigmat 83 mm f/1.9 is a vintage cine lens known for its compact build and distinctive rendering. Optically, it is sharp in the center but becomes "Petzval-like" off-center and does not fully cover APS-C, requiring cropping. It offers a unique character beyond modern clinical sharpness, appealing to those seeking a non-cookie-cutter look. The lens has been converted to Leica M-mount for easier handling. It suits photographers who value compactness and a vintage aesthetic over edge-to-edge sharpness.
