... + old B+W lens-hood

All samples are wide-open, only the yellow dandelion is stopped down...

These trioplans are really surprising. I never really thought a great deal about Meyer lenses

All pre-war Meyer lenses are same than CZJ or even better.

Some post-war Meyer also same excellent than CZJ you will miss a lot if not try them.

Both Trioplans are similar in many ways:

- rings in bokeh at f/2.8 (f/2.9)
- very natural bokeh stopped down (very pleasant to my eyes)
- almost none CA and axial CA - same level as APO lenses

Trioplan 50/2.9 in addition has very sharp centre at f/2.9. Borders are not perfectly sharp even at f/11. But there are many lenses with sharp borders, so this is not a problem from my point of view. But only a few 50mm lenses have so low axial CA (some tessars/industars, Volna-9, maybe Primoplan 58/1.9)

Here is 100% centre crop at f/2.9, sharpness set to 0:

This is always a controversial bokeh. I like the fact that it has character but I hate the fact that when you use a shallower DOF you usually want to isolate your subject from the rest and being this busy it never gets truly isolated.

Still. I like it.
