Pros: Bubble bokeh, construction, sharpness from f8 up, great background when used for portraits

Cons: Very difficult to focus at full aperture. Optics of other times, not for everyone.

Opinion: Fantastic optics regarding macro photography and portraiture. It is not easy to use due to its manual focus, double bezel and its very accentuated TA blur. I often use it in macro photography combined with extension tubes, with which I transform it into a full-fledned Macro optics. If you can buy it, even if it is now very rare.

Pros: Low price, bubble-blurred with diaphragm at 2.9

Cons: Mediocre sharpness and contrast, minimum MF distance 0.6 m, infinitely kneaded image.

Opinion: My Trioplan I recovered it from an EXA, produced in 1958, already the "v" red version, looking at it in transparency does not present mattifying or mold. The tests I carried out were carried out with an Olympus OM-D OM-1 m4/3 format so the focal is doubled. I ordered a ring for editing on sony E as well, I hope to get better results on the FF. Personally, I am disappointed with the results achieved so far. Clearly it is my fault given the results obtained and visible below. I'm going to continue the rehearsal.

Pros: F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.I.C.O soap bubble

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: A Mayer Trioplan opticist is to have in the propido the 50mm version compared to the legendary "most famous" 100mm costs a third and you have the same blurred to soap bubbles . The meyer exakta version can be modified (the bayonet can be used on ff while keeping it in focus indefinitely. Immaculate construction aluminum diaphragm with 15 no plastic blades, looks a lot like a Leica summicron 35mm.

Pros: Great blurred in "dots", very good color rendering stopping down, almost the size of pancakes

Cons: Lens designed for full frame, then APSC has limitations on the distance of focus (no focus to infinity)

Opinion: Lens to date proven only on APSC, with a D5000. Gives excellent images with the only flaw of the focus, the field of fire is reduced by providing a focus closer but at the same time reducing the distance focus maximum around 2 meters (f2.9) rnIl problem focus resolves only partially closing the aperture, but lost the effect of blurred magic that gives the lens at full aperture; however the color rendering is very good considering that we talk about a lens vecchiottornUtile a small lens hood to avoid problems with direct sunlight into the lens
