Serviced Meyer Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100/2.8 M42 w/ Case & Red Filter Minty


Trivia: An universal painterly/creative German manual focus lens in (easily adaptable) 42mm screw mount originally produced for 35mm film cameras such as Praktica (Pentacon, Contax, Praktiflex). 15 blades iris - bokeh (almost always perfectly rounded). Soap bubbly bokeh + (sort of) soft focus character.


Item condition: an item used previously, works. Repassed completely by my technician - the lens runs buttery smooth now and both aperture blades and glasses are very clean. Only extremely minor signs of age or previous use - what a copy. For detailed glass condition kindly examine my lamp collage of photos under the item gallery. The lens chassis shows only very limited amount of typical age related aluminium surface degradation (eloxation). Glasses are overall clean and free from mentionable issues.

Overall, the lens looks great considering this is ≈1960 lens and should make very happy even collectors with elevated expectations and requirements.


Accessories: original Meyer leather case in very good condition, original rear lens cap, unoriginal front lens cap with custom print. Protective red vintage filter with plastic box mountable either on aluminium lens hood or between the hood and front lens glass.
