The one on the right is a post-war Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 for comparison:
Got the one on the left today from a local seller. Uncoated, no damage to the glass, some dust inside and focus stiff but in quite good condition.
Serial Nr. 904545, from around WWII
f/2.8 - f/22
~1.2m - 1.25m - 40m - infinity
Exakta
Made out of heavy steel, not aluminium like post-war.
Of course I have some questions.
In the search there are some topics about pre-war Trioplan 10cm f/2.8, is this the same one?
Also, I've got a 39mm lens hood, but it doesn't fit (the hood is a tiny bit too narrow, maybe not even a millimeter). Are there any 40mm-diameter-hoods that you know of? Preferably meant for ~100mm, I couldn't find any on eBay. |

The pre-war one should be stunning. I doubt it's steel though, will be chromed brass which to me, always feels much nicer than aluminium. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

It's indeed not steel but chromed brass, didn't know the English term for it, thank you. There's some tiny wear with yellow/gold/copper-like underground on the rings.
Although it's maybe nicer to have chromed brass than alu, it's a lot heavier as well, not always something I prefer. |

Yes, you can always see a yellowish colour where the chrome has worn with these old lenses, you will see it referred to as 'brassing'.
I don't mind heavy lenses, I find them much easier to control in the longer lengths, less shake. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Nice images. I think the distinguishing quality of this lens is its bokeh. I also recognized the bluish glow that shows up sometimes when using Meyer lenses at wider apertures. As all-around lenses, I find them lacking, but they have their niche. |

That's a leaver for automatic-aperture using with Exakta cameras (aperture close when you make a shot and pushing this leaver). Quite complicated mechanism these days, and unreliable (according to the fact that this version had 11 iris blades).
Could It be removed? I think yes, but IMO much easier to buy Trioplan with fully mechanical aperture. |
