Meyer Optik Görlitz is Back with Three New and Improved Lenses
As announced last summer, Meyer Optik Görlitz is back with three new (version II) lenses in almost any mount: Canon EF, Fuji X, Leica L, Leica M, M42, MFT, Nikon F, Pentax K, and Sony E mounts.
“We are currently revising the entire portfolio and are expected to release the first optimized lens at the end of November. This is the Trioplan 100 f2.8 II. The other lenses such as Trioplan 50, Lydith 30 or Primoplan 75 will follow (presumably) in monthly intervals.”
Meyer Optik Görlitz Trioplan 100 f/2.8 II
With the Trioplan 100 f/2.8 II, we present you the classic of the Meyer Optik Görlitz family in a new, revised version. The optimized mechanics, the improved optical design and a newly designed lens coating enable the best Trioplan pictures of all times. In addition, the minimum focusing distance has been reduced to 0.9m. The Trioplan 100, worldwide known for its distinctive soap-bubble bokeh, offers photographers the opportunity to rediscover the artistic soul of photography in times of point-and-shoot, Instagram snapshots and pixel battles from major manufacturers. With our Trioplan 100 f/2.8 II, you create unique images and stand out from the crowd.
Based on the classic Triplet design and an aperture consisting of 15 steel blades, the Trioplan 100 f/2.8 II produces the famous soap-bubble bokeh and a unique sharpness curve from the focused area to the background. The optimized construction now offers improved haptics, especially with regard to the aperture setting, as well as even better contrast and sharpness characteristics. The company’s own glass lens production and the production of high-precision mechanical components through German partner companies ensure the best possible quality. The resulting noiseless focusing is particularly popular with videographers. In addition, the Trioplan 100 is manufactured for the most common mounts of modern cameras: Canon EF, Nikon F, Fuji X, Sony E, Pentax K, M42, Micro-Four-Thirds, Leica M and Leica L.
Meyer Optik Görlitz Trioplan 50 f/2.9 II
The Trioplan 50 f/2.9 II has been redesigned from scratch. A new mechanical design based on the Trioplan 100 f/2.8 II now offers photographers excellent handling of the 50mm focal length from the Trioplan family. By optimizing the optical design, it is now possible to focus on infinite sharpness even at aperture f/2.9 and thus nothing stands in the way of versatile use. Of course, the Trioplan 50 f/2.9 II also draws the famous soap-bubble bokeh and at shorter distances, a light swirl is created in the bokeh of the image. Like all current Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses, the Trioplan 50 f/2.9 II was also designed for the full format, but can of course also be used on APS-C cameras.
Through the use of high-quality materials and the latest manufacturing technologies, the more than 100-year history of the Trioplan 50 has been cast into modern molds. Of course, the character of the Trioplan 50 was taken into account and implemented accordingly. Our Trioplan 50 f/2.9 II offers photographers an individual picture language and at the same time the versatile possibilities of a 50mm focal length. Of course, the Trioplan 50 is manufactured for the most common mounts of modern cameras: Canon EF, Nikon F, Fuji X, Sony E, Pentax K, M42, Micro-Four-Thirds, Leica M and Leica L.
Meyer Optik Görlitz Lydith 30 f/3.5 II
Like our Trioplan 50 f/2.9 II, the new Lydith 30 f/3.5 II has undergone a complete mechanical redesign. Haptics and handling could be improved and at the same time, the compact construction could be maintained. The optical improvements support the brilliant sharpness over the entire image, as well as the faithful color reproduction of the photographed object. The imaging performance of the Lydith 30 f/3.5 II achieved in this way leads to its special charm.
The Lydith 30 f/3.5 II can produce a 3d-like effect. The object focused in the foreground almost jumps out of the watercolor-like bokeh in the background. In combination with its outstanding color reproduction properties, it creates unique photographs that tell stories. With the Lydith 30 f/3.5 II, moods, emotions and the smallest details are captured alongside the actual motif.
