Still, it's far cheaper and a bit less comfortable Telemegor 180 I've made my best butterfly photos with. Definitely not the sharpest or most detailed but most creative and fun.
It's those two.

I'm still a happy Trioplan 100 owner though. I believe the lens can do better than I showed this year.
While Trioplan seems to be broadly loved Telemegor is rather love or hate lens. Can't understand what to hate on Telemegor though, as it brings very special results from time to time, is sharper and less soft wide open and great to handle or pack for a 180mm.
Here's one circlemonster.

Hi,
the Trioplan 100/2.8 is a bit on the expensive side going for 600 USD to 2000 USD on eBay.
But the Telemegor 180 is less than 100 Euros
Now, do you mean the 100/5.5?
Any difference between the metallic coloured one and the black coloured one?

Hi, Trioplan 100 was just won on one Czech server for app. $322. My price (05/2014) was $288 including shipping from The Cradle (Germany).
A month earlier than Trioplan 100, I won Telemegor 180 for only $40, and yes, it was a really cool steal.
First time, I've waited for an unexperienced seller claiming to sell M42 version but selling actually EXA, which made a certain pleasant confusion and suspicion I've waited for. Paradoxically, despite seller's lack of knowhow, the Trioplan worked just great and didn't need an extra care in any way (which sadly never repeated).
Secondly, I just waited for a weak and FAST auction. In both cases I was just lucky, lucky and patient.
I also grabbed Tair 133 cheaply, around $94, which, if I recall correctly, involved some poker face game and "lack of interest". (Since the lens crashed me down the hill 14 days later, and respecting the fact the same seller cheated me with broken Helios 44-2 some days later, it was rather a f*cked up double-transaction overall).
I've myself never went for black ones, so ask Attila or some other forums member. I've let them pass even if the prize was good or even great. I just collect old silver crap - with love! (It sounds a little bit racist.)
I hope it helps somehow. _________________ Angry young man !

Hi,
thank you for your input!
You were lucky to get the Trioplan 100 that cheap!
Seems like many lenses are increasing in price all the time. I guess we have th thank the mirror less cameras for that
Weak and fast auctin....wow, you sound like a pro! I just got started with eBay and read some tips about waiting to the last second to get an item....but a weak auction...hmmmm....interesting! Thanks!
Well, if the black ones maybe are not getting so much attention, I will go for it as I am no collector. Just an engineer having fun with older (and weirder) lenses
Best,
Sigurd |

I'm ebaying only less than one year, but I probably have some mechrant skills I clearly won many also with some luck, just as I lost some with some bad luck, or lack of clever behavior I'm simply talking about missing the end of the auction without earlier bidding at all, trying "not to show my cards too soon" or so. This way I missed Tele Ennaston for €2, Telemegor 400 for €1 (in one case no one bidded, not a soul! Next time, it might have cost €100...), silver Sonnar 135 around €10 twice or three times, ...
And I mostly won the item making highest bid possible (acceptable for me) as early as possible (see what I've wrote about missing the end of the auction being far from the PC, etc.), ain't rushing anything in the last possible minute which could turn REALLY emotional and irrational. Emotions doesn't really fit into my ebay (or aukro.cz, to be correct) strategy.
Generally, I try not to fell in love in just one lens, probably best mindset for saving some money is not to need anything particular right now. I bought item emotionally, in rush and I bought another one patiently, after missing really many auctions I didn't mind to and in the second case the results were obviously better for my wallet. I also bid actively if the item offers are somehow more abundant than normally, which also generally leads to better prices (very simple offer vs. demand rule) but this needs a bit experience and knowledge of the lens.
Regarding collecting silver lens, I'm not a collector but photographer. Sometimes silvers are scarcer and "more valuable" (no racionality included), like that 400mm Telemegor that would be hardly overlooked in a silver version. Prefering silver against black just a bit complicates my transactions but system remains the same. As I already claimed, I'm really patient, having plenty of cool lens to shoot with already
P.S. if you look, just look, closely on final winning prices of a certain lens, you'll find some lens prices to be VERY fluctuating, sometimes in hundreds of %, or even thousands. Why on earth would you pay hundreds of % more for?

Thank you. I actually don't yet know if I'm used to upload incorrectly or is the vanishing in time a natural part of the process. Be that as it may, I have uploaded all my butterfly related stuff (and generally most of my stuff) on Flickr, creating a gallery for each lens I work with.
It looks far better in the Flickr layout anyway. It was always somehow enlarged here.
I myself see a lot of room for improvements for a lens like this, and if I could time-travel, I would change something on half of the photos or more This clean and surprisingly also sharp Argynnis aglaja photo is my favourite so far. _________________ Angry young man !

So the new butterfly season is officially happening. Yayay!
Many things changed, I have M42 Trioplan with very practical small old extension ring instead. However the drawing remains the same - possibly my favourite for butterflies.
As you may see MFD on the Telemegor on the left is pretty spooky (2.65 m) so the ring will be very useful this year.
EXA version of the Trioplan.

Please explain what you mean by "dynamic". Since you said "site" and not just this post, I suspect what you are talking about is the characteristic of the lens. Meyer has several lenses with art-like bokeh. _________________ Regards,

That's it. The bokeh is almost alive to me. What is it in the lens' design that creates that ability? And it's not restricted to background either. The image of the white flowers foreground contains a bit of that effect. |
