Richard Gale Clavius Primes

At the heart of the Clavius set is a true icon: the legendary vintage Russian 58mm f2 Helios, beloved for its dreamy swirly bokeh and bold, flaring personality. In this set, it’s beautifully rehoused — and serves as the optical soul of the 28mm, 38mm, and 88mm, each built around that same Helios magic by Richard Gale Optics.

All four lenses share that signature look, with interchangeable aperture inserts for anamorphic-style bokeh while keeping the ease of spherical shooting. Finished with smooth long-throw focus, true internal focus, 95mm fronts, and PL mounts — it’s vintage character, refined for modern cinema.
