AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Meyer Optik Görlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 - The "Soap Bubble" Legend
Up for auction is the world-famous Trioplan 100mm f/2.8, a lens that has become a "must-have" for artistic, macro, and portrait photographers. Based on the classic 1916 triplet design, this lens is celebrated not for clinical perfection, but for its unique, painterly character and its signature circular bokeh. Exacta mount - adapters are easily available for any modern (mirrorless) cameras. The lens is from 1960-1970, but in remarkably good condition.
Condition & Functionality
Optics: Clean glass with the classic vintage coating. No fungus or deep scratches. Aperture: Features the desirable 15-blade diaphragm, ensuring the bokeh remains perfectly circular even when stopped down. The blades are clean and free of oil.
Mechanics: The manual focus ring is smooth and precise, allowing for the fine adjustments needed to "dial in" the bubble bokeh effect.
Cosmetic: Good vintage condition.
The Trioplan Magic: Signature Bokeh: When shot wide open (f2.8) against back-lit subjects (like dew on grass or city lights), it produces sharp-edged "soap bubble" highlights. Versatility: An incredible portrait lens that provides a soft, glowing "dream-like" wide-open look, while becoming surprisingly sharp when stopped down.
Included in this lot:
- Meyer Optik Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 Lens.
- Original packaging box.
- Includes Front and Rear Caps.
