The effect is similar to that seen in the Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 SoftFocus (opens in new tab), and might be a halfway house to the Defocus Smoothing rendering of the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS (opens in new tab) portrait powerhouse (which is three times the price of the RF 100mm Macro). You can see the effect again with these close-up shots of balls of twine the first image shows the SA Control set at the "-" end, the second at "0" and the third at "+", showing the difference between the standard soft focus look, a non-manipulated 100mm look, and a soft focus look with soap bubble bokeh. Left: -VE / Middle: 0 position / Bottom: +VE (Image credit: Canon) Again, the lens elements have shifted and made the composition even tighter still. Again a soft focus look is achieved, but instead of creaming the background bokeh it renders much noisier bokeh – and creates the kind of 'soap bubble bokeh' to the bokeh balls that is normally characteristic of vintage lenses. The bottom image is set at the highest "+" value, fully engaging the effect to the opposite extreme. The shifting of lens elements also creates a pushed-in, tighter composition. Here you see the lens behaving like a standard 100mm f/2.8 portrait lens, with sharp midground details, pleasing background bokeh, and solid, rounded bokeh balls. The middle image shows the SA Control at the "0" value – the middle setting where no effect is applied. Here you can see that the dial applies a soft focus effect across all planes, with halation around points of contrast, creamy background bokeh, and more flared, bulbous 'bokeh balls' created from the points of light. Minimum Focusing Distance: 0.The top image shows the RF 100mm's SA Control dialed all the way down to its most extreme "-" value.Optical Construction: Classical Cooke Triplet, 3 lenses in 3 groups.Here are some more tech specs at a glance: The new Trioplan 50 is compatible with fullframe and APS-C mirrorless cameras. It is a superior art lens for the most discerning photographer. Additionally, it enlarges the image reproduction scale from about 1:8 (original Trioplan 50) to 1:4 (new Trioplan) 50, which takes the lens almost to macro-spheres.įurthermore, the new lens offers excellent sharpness, which qualifies the Trioplan f2.9/50 as more than novelty. If one uses the new 1:4 moveable front lens, it reduces the minimum distance to the object substantially, from about 0,8 to 0,28m. With this lens you have the ultimate creativity tool for all kinds of environments at your fingertip! For most all camera mounts, DSLR and mirrorless. You will be able to execute more with this one lens, and do so with a greater variety of looks and depth! This moveable front lens allows you to significantly reduce the distance between you and a subject, and produce macro photography in a 1:4 ratio.īecause we combined the Trioplan’s historical image composition with our new advanced production methodologies, we have created a lens that addresses an extremely wide variety of situations. Meyer Optik didn’t simply reproduce an old design, they innovated upon it by adding a new front focus “close-up” element. The Trioplan became one of the most popular lenses in the world during the golden era of photography, powering Meyer-Optik’s rise as a leading German lens manufacturer, rivaling even Zeiss. In 1916 - exactly 100 years ago - Meyer-Optik revealed a lens that became a legend: The Trioplan. Our new Trioplan project brings back this unmatched legend’s most versatile focal length (the f2.9/50) and its artistic charm, but with a superior engineered design, the best materials, and handmade German manufacturing. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Trioplan lenses, Meyer-Optik is bringing back a modern version of the ultimate art lens, the Meyer-Optik Trioplan 50mm f2.9 Lens ($1,499) available in Sony E, Canon EF, Nikon F, Fuji X, Leica M, Micro 43, M42 and Pentax K mounts.īuilt with an optical construction of three lenses, Trioplan images became famous for their soap bubble bokeh, sharp subjects, and extraordinary resolution.
