Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II Lens for M42 (Black)

Delivering an unmistakably distinct bokeh quality, the Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II from Meyer-Optik Gorlitz is an update to and centennial commemoration of a classic vintage optic and is available here for M42-mount cameras. Version II of this manual-focus telephoto prime utilizes a revised triplet optical design to produce a distinguished image quality with strong colors and central sharpness, along with improved contrast and higher resolution rendering. Also, fifteen aperture blades further help to produce smooth circular bokeh that is the lens's calling card, dubbed "soap bubble bokeh." Additionally, differing from the classic design of the century-old predecessor, this lens does feature modern coated Schott glass optics for notable contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.

Version II of this lens sees an improved optical design to achieve greater contrast and resolution, along with a redeveloped mechanical design with smoother operation and a more streamlined form factor.

Short-telephoto prime is designed for 35mm-format M42 screw mount SLRs.

Using a traditional triplet optical design, this three-element, three-group lens produces a uniquely classic image quality coupled with a distinct "soap bubble" bokeh quality.

Coated Schott glass is used for high clarity and contrast, as well as reduced lens flare and ghosting.

Manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 2.95' away.

Fifteen diaphragm blades help produce an artistic and distinctly circular bokeh quality.

Front 52mm filter thread is consistent throughout the Meyer-Optik Gorlitz version II lens series.
