Lensbaby Twist 60 Petzval 60mm Creative Lens Review

The Lensbaby Twist 60 is a very modern rendition of a 175-year-old optical design, and true to the designer, Joseph Petzval. But does it satisfy our creative expectations when used in the field? In Spišská Belá, Slovakia, about 12.5 miles from the southern border of modern Poland, stands the Múzeum J.M. Petzval, a museum dedicated to legendary mathematician and optical designer Joseph Petzval. To provide chronological perspective, Petzval died in 1891 at the age of 84.
