6/2/2023 0 Comments Legendary bokeh lens meyers 58![]() My experience is with the old version of the lens. The Meyer-Optik brand stopped lens production in the 1970’s, but due to the high demand, another company, net SE, revived the lens in 2014 and started developing new version of lenses under the Meyer-Optik Görlitz brand (now available for jaw-dropping prices, I dare say). There are even photography groups dedicated to sharing photos of out-of-focus dewy blades of grass taken with the Trioplan. The Trioplan quickly became one of the most popular Meyer lenses because of its special visual properties, and a great deal of its increase in popularity is thanks to online image-sharing platforms that allowed photographers around the globe to learn of its existence. Founded in 1896, it is most known for its Trioplan lens construction, based on Cooke Triplet. Meyer-Optik Görlitz is a lens brand made in Germany. That said, it is also listed as a “special order” and expected to be available in two to four weeks.Leaf-mimicking Katydid (Cycloptera sp.) from Ecuador, photographed with the Trioplan 100mm lens While the lens is listed for 899 euros on the company’s website, United States-based retailers who have the product in stock show it listed for the same amount in dollars. The rear group consists of a single biconvex converging lens, resulting in a subtle brilliance over the entire frame.”īelow are a few sample images that Meyer Optik Görlitz shared that were taken with the lens: “The breathtaking images taken with the Primoplan 58 f1.9 II are down to its unusual design,” Meyer Optik Görlitz writes, “In which a central dispersion lens is flanked by two groups of lenses, each acting as a converging lens. It’s a fully manual lens with a filter size of 52mm. The 58mm f/1.9 II features a 14-bladed aperture, is constructed of five elements in four groups, and has an aperture range of f/1.9 through f/22. Meyer Optik Görlitz says that thanks to an improved optical design, the new Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 II delivers “the best possible contrast and high image sharpness” while also promising multiple bokeh variations: “from classic bubble bokeh, to swirly bokeh, to very soft/creamy bokeh.” The original 58mm f/1.9 can still be found through some retailers for around $600 used and looks remarkably different than this latest iteration. The Primoplan 58 f1.9 gained its legendary reputation among photographers around the world in no time at all. Its light intensity of 1:1.9, which was considered extremely high back then, made the Primoplan 58 f1.9 one of the most exciting lenses of its time. The initial Primoplan 58 f1.9 was developed by the brilliant Meyer-Optik designer Paul Schäfter 80 years ago. It should be noted that while it is compatible with Leica M-Mount rangefinders, the lens does not support rangefinder coupling and thus focusing must be performed via LiveView. The 58mm f/1.9 II will be available for nine different camera mounts: Canon EF, Fujifilm X, Leica L, Leica M, Micro Four Thirds, M42, Nikon F, Pentax K, and Sony E. ![]() Meyer Optik Görlitz has announced the 58mm f/1.9 II for multiple camera mounts and promises a lens that shares the characteristics of the original but manufactured with modern production processes and high-quality materials.
