dbehrens, yes, after some long wainting time for the Trioplan, this lens seem to be more in time ready. And it is nice that it really happend.
OpticalFlow, yes, I paid on no single lens that much money. Even not on the Canon FD 400mm f/2.8L or several Zeiss C/Y lenses together - good thing to buy used and abused lenses. I did not buy it, it is kind of evaluation.
I still like my classic Trioplan very much. I plan to do a comparison. While I think the Trimagon is a bit sharper, the Trioplan perhaps has the better pronunced bokeh. And I like this.
I am very happy about companies who gives us more choices. Especially here a new bokeh / sharpness combination. This is usefull for me.
Lee Saxon: The spherical aberration is the reason for this lens. Nearly one will buy a triplet lens 95 or 100mm with f/2.5 or 2.8 with full corrected spherical aberration. But the Trioplan 100 type of correction is quite helpfull for many photographers. See the classic Trioplan 100 prices, which are at the moment like 5 to 10 times higher than 2010.
But, yes, I do understand that many photographers are happy with neutral bokeh.
I do not know how many people will buy these new Meyer lenses at those prices. Those people I know who bought the new Meyer lenses did it on the Kickstarter campaign.
naturphoto1, this seems like a normal dealer, not the Meyer company. And it seems this dealer does not want to sell lenses to your country. Here in Germany is is zero shipping cost from that dealer.
Some USA Ebay sellers want ~USD 100 for shipping to Germany. I avoid buying their stuff....Show more →
Looking at the Meyer website, they charge VAT prices for the lens which total 1699 Euros. I am not sure if they would sell the lens directly to the US without the VAT price. For the ebay listing they list the lens for 1599 Euros and 200 Euros for shipping.
