I have the Alu one, but pretty much only use it wide open. It's never a sharp lens but has character.

Can anyone here help me with this queston about the trioplan 2,8?

I have a Canon 5D Mark II - which one of these trioplan can I use?

I ask cause i saw you discussed about exakta and M42 amount? I thought I had to bye a adapter called M42 before i could use this lens? But do you mean that i can't do that? Or have I missunderstod? Smile


I'm looking at this lenses on Ebay and i'm really confused which one can fit on my camera. If anyone know, i would be very grateful for help!

Do you have any other example on lenses that gives crazy bokey? Or artistics?

Propellor - wonderful shot Smile

For a Canon EOS 5D II, you will need an M42 version. You will then need an M42 to Canon EOS adapter. I would recommend the silver (alu) version for maximum crazy bokeh! Laughing

Hey Tammy,

If you google "trioplan 100mm 5d II mirror clearance", you should get a plethora of results.

You will need a m42 or exakta to EF adapter. These come in varying quality, but you should be able to pick up a good one for less than $20 US.

Two samples from my black zebra version. Both wide open - the sharpness is not too bad, but the contrast is very low (I improved it in PP)

Wouldn't any large aperture triplet do ?
Collecting aside, there are alternatives.

Looks old, is this a rare Hugo Meyer lens?

I suggest the silver one. I have both but the silver one has 15 blades and M42 mount. If you like bokeh you will love it.
I use for taking picture of flower and mostly wide open.

Very Happy

If it's rare, i don't know. But it has 18 blades, and has markings in FEET and its focal length is marked 4 1/4 INCH.

Is it named Hugo Meyer? Do you have a serial number?
It looks like one of those Trioplan lense that get high prices on Ebay - but I am not a collector who knows whether this is collectible or not.

@ZoneV: It's not a Hugo Meyer, it's a Meyer-Optiks

@mlimages: did you do much post processing?
