    140mm · f/3.5

    Overview

    The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Diaplan 140 mm f/3.5 is a projection lens praised for unique bokeh and artistic rendering, with swirling, boiling background effects that stand out from modern uniform optics. Optical strengths include sharpness and detail, but weaknesses are not explicitly noted. Build and handling are typical of vintage manual lenses, requiring careful positioning. It suits macro and portrait photographers seeking creative, non-clinical backgrounds rather than perfectly melted bokeh.
