Thing is, and I have seen it on MFLenses too, despite some hyped lenses being just that (not particularly good) and most of us recognizing that fact, they are still sold/bought around here for those exact values. Can we blame sellers who aware of that if they know someone will pay?
Trioplan is one of those examples where people really show how funny they can be. If it was any other lens the bokeh would be ugly and distracting but since it is the Trioplan it shows character and distinguishes it from other lenses. Funny.

we are talking about GDR (socialist) era here... all of these enterprises had been nationalized, they didnt really compete with eachother or produced their lenses on a contract basis. Zeiss Ikon, Meyer, Pentacon, Ihagee and some other smaller factories in the Dresden region were merged into one big combine Pentacon in the late 60s which apparently resulted in a certain 'stream lining' of design and production. |
Yes, I understand that the lenses are a product of the history which precedes them.  Meyer and Zeiss have a long history, and apparently, their respective technicians, engineers, and other workers took a great deal of pride in their respective product. I have, personally, been disappointed in the four samples that I have, from the 60's. And I've read that the Meyer group, after the merging, were given the shoddiest working conditions and materials, where as the Zeiss personnel were afforded the best. Does this necessarily mean that DDR Zeiss products were superior in some way to the Oreston? Well, I don't know. But I'm disappointed so far in the four samples that I have. The Pentacons seem, to me, to be better mechanically.
