100mm · f/2.8
The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 (new) is a modern revival of a vintage lens known for its distinctive 'soap bubble' bokeh, which is either loved or hated. Optically, it offers decent center resolution at f/2.8 but very low contrast, and lateral CA is well corrected. The bokeh effect is strong at f/2.8 but smooths at f/4. Build quality is premium with aluminum construction and smooth focusing, though the lens feels delicate and the hood is ineffective. It suits photographers seeking a unique, artistic rendering rather than sharpness or perfection.
