(...)Triotar at f4 is sharp, Trioplan is still very very soft in a dreamy way (...)

I have two copies of Trioplan.
My first copy (late 50's) gives very noticeable glow at F2.8 and is sharp stopped down to F4 - as you can see on this photo:

Older version (mid 50's) at F2.8 gives slighter glow than the first. When stopped down - isn't as sharp as first copy (but is still good).

I haven't any experience with CZJ Triotar - but at one time I'll buy it. I'm dreaming about old, chrome version made in 40's Smile

The Zeiss Triotar is completely different than Meyer Trioplan.

And in the right light condition the Triotar is tack sharp and with a great 3d effect.

On a crop camera the Triotar doesn't show its greater weakness, alas the softness at the borders.

I like the first one, great 3D Very Happy
