Meyer-Optik Görlitz Primoplan 58 mm f/ 1.9 (new)
58mm · f/1.9
Overview
The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 (new version) is a manual-focus lens praised for its beautiful colors and smooth bokeh, including swirly effects wide open. It is sharp wide open, especially at the rule-of-thirds intersections, but may be too sharp for portraits. Build quality is excellent with an all-metal body and smooth focusing ring, but it lacks weather sealing and electronic contacts. Best suited for mirrorless cameras, particularly Sony, where live view aids focusing. At a high price, it appeals to enthusiasts seeking vintage character.
