The Trioplan triplet appeared first in 1914 and traditionaly is considered that Roeschlein was the designer involved in computing it. Trioplans were first produced as LF or folder lenses as f/6.3, f/4.5, f/3.8 and f/3. The ancestors of post-WWII 100mm f/2.8 Trioplans were Cine Trioplans and Portrait Trioplans, both f/3, produced after 1925.
Some 2 years ago I needed a Compur1 shutter and got one with a lens attached for 10$ from ebay. Seller didn’t say what lens was on it and, as I only needed the shutter, I didn’t asked him. When it arrived I was surprised to see that the lens was a Trioplan 100mm f /3, the smallest of the old uncoated Portrait Trioplans. Lens Vade Mecum explains : “…these are listed as Portrait Trioplan, but they were a sharp lens and were actually also used as a fast lens on many press and reflex cameras…”. Quite a find considering that Cine Trioplans of the same era are selling now with 1200$ on ebay.
I made some tests and it already has all the character of the post-WWII Trioplans. A lovely lens. I am now in the process of adapting it to my Nex. |

Meyer Primotar 3.5/135, Oreston 1.8/50, 2.8/135 and 2.8/100 all have very interesting bokeh, I like the Primotar 3.5/135 a lot for it's bokeh. The Primotar 3.5/50 and Primagon 4.5/35 are also great lenses, very sharp at all apertures, they share the rich Meyer colours and bokeh. I have samples from them all on the NEX if you'd like to see any. I have technically better lenses but I kept the Meyers due to their wonderful character. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Depends on what you mean by "similar" - similar focal length? Speed? Rendering?
Meyer lenses typically all have a somewhat similar "look" in terms of rendering, although the automatic lenses have fewer diaphragm blades than the presets which can affect highlights. |

I like Meyer lenses and will soon take delivery of a Primotar 80/3.5 with P6 mount. I love my Lydith, like my Orestor 135/2.8, love the Orestegor 300/4, and sold my Orestegor 200/4. I found that Flicker has a nice feature for displaying pictures based on keywords. In this case it's Primotar, but you can change that in the url to whatever.

I love my Meyer Trioplan 100 very much - it produce those images that get most positive comments.
Because of this I started thinking about a "backup" lens. But normal prices are to high, but I found out that Meyer Diaplan 100 and Pentacon AV 100 projection-lenses are about same regarding the glass. _________________ Camera modification, repair and DIY - some links to look through: http://www.4photos.de/camera-diy/index-en.html

I have seen an actual MTF measurement of the very compact 100mm ORESTOR. Based on its early birth at 1966, it must not optical hide behind the comparable modern lenses! I am using the ORESTOR successfully on my Contax RTSIII, Contax AX, and Canon 5DMkII! |
