Hi Florent your trioplan is sharp even at 2.8.
Little contrast & sharpening in PP and 2.8 is super.
Until now I had only see psychedelic shot with vibro bokeh but with your shots I see trioplan is also a real lens.

I have ajusted level in post-processing but haven't touched sharpness for city view and the cow, just for the Peugeot car's logo.

Wide open, it's both sharp and dreamy, this lens is also very light and pleasant to use, but I have to remember each time that the aperture ring is on front and focus near the camera Wink

These are nice, Florent, but to be a full-fledged member of the club, we
need to see the psychedelic bokeh shots, too! Laughing

Congrats, and I agree, the lens is a pleasure to use!

You are right Bill ! I have already some test shots that show them but not as nice as I would like too...

You must know you are the one that makes me hunting for that lens with your dreamy lovely pictures Wink

Some more test shots !

All were made with a 8mm extension tube in order to have closer focus than the default 1.1m ... also no post-processing at all, just un-raw with DDP & default settings. Click on pictures to get the full size one.

I like your third photo, Florent - it isn't very sharp, but it has nice, specific character :] As we can see, bokeh is more neutral at F/5.6 than at F/2.8.
A few days ago I added new photo and 100% crops from my Trioplan - you can see it at the bottom of this page:

Yeah Maxim is the king of psychedelic bokeh
Florent your trioplan is problematic, it only give 'normal' bokeh Mr. Green

yes
the closer the focusing point the narrower the dof
the narrower the dof the blurrier the bokeh appears
