    Overview

    The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 is a vintage lens renowned for its distinctive soap bubble bokeh, which is polarizing—loved for its unique character or criticized as distracting. Optically, it offers decent center resolution at f/2.8 but very low contrast and veiling flare issues; lateral chromatic aberration is well corrected. Build quality is mixed: the original feels delicate with a smooth focus ring and 15-blade aperture, while the modern version is premium but expensive. The lens suits photographers seeking a unique, artistic rendering rather than sharpness or perfection.
