You can get a Trioplan for medium format. I have a Meyer Trioplan 75mm f2.9 in Compur shutter for 120 roll film.

Trioplans were designed first (~1914) as LF (portrait) lenses. There are a lot of "Portrait Trioplans" f/3-f/3.8 covering all formats.
I have an 100 mm. f/3 Trioplan in a Compur shutter, the smallest of the "Portrait Trioplan" family. My Trioplan has a character very similar with the classical 100 mm f/2.8 Trioplan for 24x36 mm format and therefore I think it is its real ancestor.
The latter 105 mm f/4.5 Trioplans made for 6x9 folders, as well as all other f/4.5 Trioplans, doesn't share the same character.

I think all Trioplan has different bokeh, none of them them cheap alternative of popular 100mm, I did try a few of them.
