    Overview

    The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Primotar 180mm f/3.5 is a vintage lens praised for its pleasing bokeh and good rendering (woodrim, papasito). It is nearly sharp wide open and sharpens quickly when stopped down (woodrim). Chromatic aberration is present but not excessive (woodrim). Build is solid with smooth focus, though the lens is large and heavy (miran, woodrim). It suits photographers seeking an artistic, Trioplan-like look at a lower cost, particularly for wide-open use where bokeh is prioritized (woodrim).
