Up for sale is a rare, beautifully crafted Kern Paillard Macro-Yvar 150mm f/3.3 telephoto lens. Originally manufactured in Switzerland for premium 16mm movie cameras like the Bolex H16, this legendary vintage lens features a built-in macro extension and the famous Visifocus depth-of-field scale.

Today, it is highly sought after by vintage cinematographers and experimental digital photographers who adapt C-mount glass onto modern mirrorless systems (Micro Four Thirds, Sony E-mount, etc.) for its unique, painterly rendering and sharp center contrast.
