New Daguerrotype 64 mm lens from Lomography

Well, because some people here obviously do not like this Daguerrotype lens or the Petzval lenses from Lomography I want to share this picture with you. It is the Petzval 58 mm lens I used and as you all can see it kind of destroys the picture with its horrible sharpness and bad quality. Please confirm if I am right about this ;) As my subject here was not photographed for the public to recognize I am not publishing the whole image here. Have fun telling me how bad this is ;)

The best quality lens is the one that gets the results one wants. There is no universal measure of lens quality.

None of the samples look anything like a Daguerreotype to me.
It's about emulating the characteristics of the lens that came with the early Daguerreotype cameras, not the process itself.

Now they have sold about |1.600 Daguerrotype lenses already in about a week. I hope you fellow hoggers jump on this deal. It is too good to miss ;)
