I'm still beating a dead horse here, but does anyone know off the top of their head lenses that have similar enough soap bubble bokeh like Trioplan 100/2.8?...


The Meyer Diaplan and Pentacon AV 100/2.8 lenses look like a 100% copy of the Meyer Trioplan 100 for me.
The 80mm/2.8 with the same names are quite good as well, but after first photos it looks like they have not that much over corrected spherical aberration.

Here Diaplan/Pentacon AV 100 pictures:



These are all spectacular pictures.

Thank you!
I think for most viewers the last picture with the Sigma YS 135mm is to much soap bubble and color - but I like it.

Wow, that Diaplan/Pentacon AV 100 almost looks like a zoom effect.

The last image was made with the defocus control modified Sigma YS 135mm/2.8 - cyrano´s citation could give a false impression.

Certainly was misleading, if that was the case.

A Cooke triplet often produces interesting bokeh on highlights. This is a Steinheil München Cassarit 35mm f2.8.

At f2.8

@KDS
Your Celestron 300 - is it a Newton or a Schmidt-Cassegrain etc. type?
Because the newton (Celestron 300/76 ~F4) is dirt cheap (less than 70€ (NEW!) without 1,25" T2 Adapter) and I've never seen an SC or dedicated photography version such an short focal length from Celestron.
Do you know about it's coverage? I wonder if it would work for APS-C.

A newton is quite unhandy to use for photography though (despite corner performance), especially when compared to lenses like the Minolta MD 250/5.6 Wink But as it's 100% free of glas and 1,25" filter are quite cheap and easily available it might be interesting for UV work.

Here a few boring samples (most of them from when I startet with photography)

Minolta 24/2.8




Fujian 35/1.7




Cyclop 85/1.5 (version which is identical with Helios 40 85/1.5)






Meyer Domiron 50/2

Those Videostigmat lenses are spectacular!

Too bad they're not fitting the EOS sensors...

I was shooting with a Topcon GN 50/1.4 this weekend and the bokeh made me think of this thread. It seems to have very strange bokeh when the background is very bright and busy. It also has some pincushion distortion that is easily correctable in post processing. Fun lens to shoot with.. Instantly one of my favs.

Rings and exploding bubbles..



sometimes the rings are so bright it looks like I'm using a mirror lens



I think this one was at f2.8 and looks a little more normal... hexagons



Weird bokeh looks like additional flowers in the bush



it does cat's eyes too



lessen the highlights and it just looks nervous

Hi,

The old classic: Meyer Optik Görlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8









(Actually two different Trioplans here, a 50's alu in M42 and a pre-war brass one in Exakta mount.)

Love the set. Great lens.

Hello everyone, I am new here, I am French and I use google translate to speak to you, so be indulgent if you do not understand me! Wink

Very beautiful pictures !

Here's what you can do with a Rolley 35 lens connected to a Sony Nex :

Tessar :


Sonnar :



I blocked the diaphragm fully open, and I use the triangular shutter as a diaphragm.

What is interesting is that the triangular bokeh answers the net topic : On the first photo, the lace bokeh recalls the fine lace of the poppy petals.
On the second, the triangular form forms large triangles which respond to the triangular shape of the spider web.

These are two examples, but I have others! Smile


[edit : I tried 10 times, the pictures does'nt display Grrr!]
