After unveiling the Lydith 30mm f/3.5 II in August, Meyer Optik Görlitz announced their new manual focus Trioplan 50mm f/2.8 II, a sharp normal lens with “soap bubble bokeh.”
The new Trioplan 50mm f/2.8 II features a new mechanical construction and a “significantly optimized” optical design that makes this new lens “considerably” sharper than its predecessor. The speed of the lens has also been slightly increased from f/2.9 in the original to f/2.8.
According to the company “With our Trioplan 100 II and our Lydith 30 II, we have already been able to successfully revive two absolute Meyer-Optik-classics despite the current difficult situation. The customer feedback on these two lenses is very positive so far and we are very pleased to release the third lens. The Trioplan 50 f2.8 II offers an extreme center sharpness as well as a beautiful bokeh and in appropriate shooting situations, the Trioplan 50 f2.8 II draws the famous bubble bokeh and at the same time a rotating swirly background.”
Here are some sample photos captured with the new Trioplan 50mm f/2.8 II:
According to OPC Optics, two more classic Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses to be reborn include the Primoplan 75mm f/1.9 II and the Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 and the company says they’re “almost ready and will be released shortly.”
The Trioplan 50 f2.8 II is available now on the Meyer Optik Görlitz website through select retailers with a price tag of €876.34 ($1,021)
