Impact on the updated Trioplan 100mm / 2,8 bokeh monster from the new Meyer Optik Gorlitz
150$ vs 973€
Old “real” Triplanes are even more expensive on the secondary market. But M42 still surprises in 2023
They are just crazy and greedy. $150 is very good. Soon the Chinese will make their biotars and primoplanes popular. Hello KMZ!
and Sonnars (real)
They have already made 2 of them, quite good. But yes, we are still waiting!
Well, there will be enough Soviet Jupiters for another 100 years, I don’t see the point in taking a Chinese.
Jupiter with bubbles, like a trioplane? give me two
If it is not 50 / 1.5, but 50 / 1.2 with the same characteristic pattern and new enlightenment - that would be super! In general, they have already made 7art 50 / 1.1, 35 / 1.2, but there are still some questions for them: a fifty-kopeck piece is very compromise in quality, and it’s “not perfect” in terms of drawing, and 35 is colorshifting.
and me at 200
They did make a copy of Biotar 75/1.5, but it is optically noticeably better and much cheaper. There is nothing on Ali yet, but I think it will appear soon.
Yeah, there are just a couple of nuances there, I'll write about them later)))
And Phillip Reeve has already released a detailed review on this subject.

I would like mirror lovers to be pampered, there are a lot of mirrors on hand and not everyone is running to change the system
so it is under m42, it will stand on DSLRs kenon and pentax through a penny adapter. But I realized that the main thing for owners of DSLRs is to whine)
In the sense of whining, only two lenses have been released for DSLRs, I would like to expand the line, at least with some kind of mount
this year there are already six for SLR cameras, this one and another:
AstrHori 18/8.0 APS-C Periscope Probe Macro
ZHONGYI 200mm f/4 Macro 1X APO
SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.4 50mm Classic
HD PENTAX-FA 1: 1.4 50mm
7Artisans 7.5mm 1:3.5 FISH-EYE
The Chinese guessed badly for nothing. Whoever wants, who deserves it, has been able to do it for a long time. Not your priorities now. Rejoicing one thing, the stench has been set at a new price, as if the fault is true vartuy (for your mind, that the lenses are in a new glass, and not plastic) now. For the prices on the all-world flea market are clearly dependent on the merchants, just like at their own hour on Helios 40.
And if Trioplane tsey I bought from a rumun for $ 30. The world has turned into a miser and speculators, and the Chinese want to enter into clean water, if there is a swamp around the ore))
the world is the same, money depreciates.
When focusing, it "breathes" then, God forbid, it probably .. with three lenses. But hardly anyone will use it for video. And so, for this money, you can indulge.
Interestingly, like many “Chinese”, is this glass also with a flight beyond infinity?
MTO-1000 with a flight, but here it is, a trifle
on m42 lenses, the flight is easily corrected, it is enough to put a thin spacer between the adapter and the lens (I print on a 3D printer, but can be made from thin plastic). you select the thickness and you're done, infinity exactly on infinity. But with this method, it is desirable to have your own adapter for each glass, I bought penny adapters for canon ef for all m42 glasses and use one high-quality canon ef - fx adapter for the entire optics park.
*between adapter and lens
Unusual bokeh for perception, as if a child had photoshopped it.
Today I tested this lens on a medium format (Fujifilm GFX 50R).
The lens does not give a hint of a vignette anywhere, even with a deep lens hood, which is good news.
There are bubbles in the bokeh, the feeling from the lens itself and from working with it is also very pleasant. The price is quite reasonable.
The M42 thread is a little annoying, but, in principle, it does not interfere.
So let’s think and ask ourselves the sacramental Indian question “Nahua?”
It is interesting, of course, how comparable its image quality is to some projection triplets such as Triplet-5 or Triar-3.
Bokeh looks like some old Tamrons adapted
I bought such a miracle for 15 bank tickets and seemed to really like the magic bubbles. Especially at dawn with dew on the grass.
