I used have one with problem in the aperture. It was given to my friend with the blades removed.

For the optically construction, I am not sure it is a Triplet. Usually, Steinheil name their triplets as Cassar(S). Is there any weak reflections found in your copy?

It is certainly a triplet Calvin (Cassar, Cassarit and Cassaron are all triplets, Culmigon is 4e, Culminon is 5e),

Some nice pictures there. The bokeh looks very Trioplan-like.


Thanks, I like it too. Maybe the Trioplan looks Cassarit-like? Laughing But well, the Trioplan came to the Market around 1914, the Cassar approx 1925, so the Trioplan looks like the older brother indeed...

The Cassarit replaced the Cassar in 1955/56 which used new glass types and a more generous glass diameter for improved illumination and correction (cited from Lens Vademecum)

It is the early preset version with two ears on the present ring. The Paxette version should give similar result (I have one).

Guys, this was posted in the Digital Gallery, not the Lens section. Pictures are shown and possible discussed there - not lenses.

And it is not by coincidence that I put my work there, so I will move those lens related stuff to teh lens section, so to give
you the chance to discuss endlessly all about this tech stuff, mounts prongs and lens design and versions and coatings, you name it Wink

And this comment goes here too, making space in the original thread to discuss about, I wonder if you may have guessed it, photos.

I was guilty too, I should have stopped it right away... my bad, but I will be more rigid in future, I promise.

You should be happy too, Klaus. People ask about information on the lens for few possible reasons.

a) They think your photos are excellent
b) They think you have in-dept knowledge on the lens and know how to use the lens
c) They think you are kind and willing to answer any related question(s)
d) ...

Well, I did say it tongue-in-cheek. Smile

I always look first, then if I can't find it, then I ask.

I agree with that Ian, although sometimes you must know where to look. More experienced users have better resources or know how to filter them out of the morass of rubbish that google search brings up.
