Katastrofo - that's right, I have M42 Trioplan - I use it with my E-300 and M42-4/3 adapter. In Poland these lenses are very rare. I saw 2 Trioplans at Allegro.pl (something like ebay): "my" for 149 PLN; 1 PLN = 3.63 € or 2.52 USD and other for 180 PLN. I'm lucky - my Trioplan haven't any dust, fungus or scratches Smile
I hope, you'll grab good Trioplan soon! Best regards


Thanks, Maxim, for the information! Nice to see a fellow e300 shooter!
Did you know your name is a magazine? Has nice pictures... Laughing

Sorry, BIG MISTAKE (today morning I was very sleepy) - 1 USD = 2.52 PLN; 1 € = 3.63 PLN... so price of my lens was 149 PLN (IMHO very cheap). Now I'm in my university and I'm still sleepy Smile Sorry for problems... Hubert

Attila - you are great... respect! Very Happy

I was very busy in the passing week, so I didn't take many photos. Also the weather in Poland wasn't good - rather rainy and cloudy.
Here's photo taken today afternoon:


That's my Trioplan... this "ancient" lens attached to modern dSLR looks funny Smile Helios 44M-6 for comparision.




The glass is clean, with beauty blue coat:


And... original, factory box Smile This box looks better live, than in a photo

You started a fashion Maxim, before this excellent shoots nobody would take this lens. I suppose I will send you some unsellable lens from my collection and after all they will be valuable lens Laughing

Yes great samples from Maxim.
To be fair, I also remember some Carsten's very nice shots with the lens, some time ago.

Attila is right you raised a ghost. Before the lovely photos you posted , this was for me just another nice lens from the past. Now it is a tool I must have. Very Happy Thankyou for the inspiration. I hope only to return it one day.

Andy – nice to read your words!
I can't say, that Trioplan is „the best lens”... but it has own mystical personality and character. Some other lenses produce sharper pictures, have better colour transmission and contrast – but I love my Trioplan. It's good tool for me.
Bill, very nice to meet the person using the same equipment ! Before I bought E-300, for two years I had used old HP 912C (old 2 MPix dSLR with fixed lens and semi-transparent mirror). New dSLRs were too expensive for me. Now I am discovering world of the photography anew Very Happy If U want, visit my account in Polish photo-portal. That's link directly to my account:
www.galeria.kw.pl
(a lot of photos taken with my old HP 912C Razz )

Maxim,
Thanks for the link! So many excellent photos, no matter the camera!
Really like the spider web series!

In photo above, very nice the hood to lens is detachable. Wink

Really nice gallery Hubert! Your camera is lucky to have you.

Bill, Andy - thanks, nice to read your opinion Smile
Yesterday evening I took one test photo - I tried to produce chromatic aberration with my Trioplan at F/2.8. I hope that my hand didn't shaked very much Wink That's the result:



100% crops:





Contrast and sharpness aren't excellent (low light), but I'm surprised that there is no chromatic aberration - in the centre of image and in the corners too.

Added 10.11.2007:

Today I took very similar photo, but at F/5.6. Contrast and sharpness is better (I think that relatively good) as you see at 100% crop:



90% of my photos were taken with full open aperture because I prefer softness and unreal glow. Trioplan + autumn is a very good combination Smile[/b]

Beautiful shot, Maxim! I think the low contrast adds to the dreamlike
quality. Looking forward to using this lens! Smile

Here's some samples from my Trioplan copy - what I could do with the very poor available light, that is:

www.orio.ws/temp/Trioplan/index.html

There are some shots wide open and some stopped down, and one scene both (wide open and stopped down). No info, but you'll surely guess which is what.

Pure light is pure light unfortunately, I look forward better light conditions.

Yes, thanks GOD I was lucky with that!
My dream is to make a series of portraits in this place. If only I could find a nice model Sad

I forgot a few of the best ones (or less worst ones), don't know how, anyway here they are:
