Meyer Optik Görlitz has announced its Trioplan 50mm f2.8 II is now available in a variety of mounts. The 50mm prime joins the company's Trioplan 100 II and our Lydith 30 II released previously this year.
"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," explains Timo Heinze, managing director of OPC Optics. "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, today."
Sharpness is considerably higher than in its predecessor while speed has been slightly increased and adapted to the other focal lengths of the Trioplan series (from f2.9 to f2.8). The Trioplan 50 f2.8 II also features a completely new mechanism.

What are the next Steps?BAD KREUZNACH -- The Trioplan 50 f2.8 II marks the third new lens from Meyer Optik Görlitz since the brand has been restarted by OPC Optics.
"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," explains Timo Heinze, Managing Director of OPC Optics. "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, today."
Improved optical design and new mechanical construction
Like the two lenses already published, the optical design of the Trioplan 50 f2.8 II has been significantly optimized. The sharpness of the Trioplan 50 f2.8 II is considerably higher than that of its predecessor and at the same time the speed has been slightly increased and adapted to the other focal lengths of the Trioplan series (from f2.9 to f2.8). The Trioplan 50 f2.8 II has also been given a completely new mechanism and convinces with optimal operability and best quality of workmanship.
Sharp Normal lens with Soap Bubble Bokeh & Swirl
The Trioplan 50 f2.8 II offers an extreme center sharpness as well as a beautiful bokeh. In appropriate shooting situations the Trioplan 50 f2.8 II draws the famous bubble bokeh and at the same time a rotating background (swirl). Of course, depending on the situation, both effects also occur separately and thus the Trioplan 50 f2.8 II offers many creative possibilities for your own image compositions.
What are the next steps?
Two further and very popular Meyer-Optik-classics, the Primoplan 75 f1.9 II and the Primoplan 58 f1.9 II, are almost ready and will be released shortly. The respective releases will be announced in separate press releases.
