Wow, that is some CRAZY stylized bokeh! Makes the image look like an impressionist painting… http://www.4photos.de/test/Meyer-Goerlitz-Trioplan-100mm-2.8.html
yeah,still not good enough,develop optic again until it show bokeh like 3D Ball
,i will waiting for…
Really nice dreamy images. Nice to see them.
Wow. What a painterly boke. Beautiful.
I remember when many lens showed those on film era. They were great in artistic use but so damn hard to use because wide open it required ND filters (those were more expensive then).
And now it is “photoshop this and photoshop that and photoshop it!”
If I can get that kind effect in camera under 10 seconds, I am not never liking to sit front of the computer 2 hours to get something similar but fake looking.
A bit bored and tired of lots of full manual third party lenses. It’s also the interest of Olympus and Panasonic to help 3rd party manufacturers implement reliable AF systems.
It’s great to see new companies offering more M4/3 lenses, even though this isn’t a native designed lens.
Tamron has already proved with their 14-150mm that there’s really not much point releasing M4/3 lenses that compete directly with lenses from Panasonic and Olympus, unless they can offer something that’s dirt cheap, like the Sigma 19mm, 30mm and 60mm.
OR offer something special and unique like the Voigtländer Noktons, native SLR Magic lenses, etc..
Lenses like this should (hopefully) be unique.
As for the explosion of manual lens releases… boo hoo.
Get one of these…
😉

Well, if they offer a 4th 14-140/-150 superzoom with no standout features at similar pricing, what to expect?
It’d have made more sense to target gaps in the line-up: e.g. a reasonably fast and reasonably cheap UWA rectilinear prime (say 9 f2.8); or a cheaper alternative to the 75 (say 75 f2-f2.5) or a longer tele (100 f2.8, 150 f2.8-f4, 200 f4, 300 f4, etc), or a higher-quality telezoom (40-200 f4-5.6 with macro or 70-300 f4-5.6 with higher image quality than the competing models).
Exactly!
Release something DIFFERENT, not yet another iteration of lenses that already exist from both P&O!
Long macros, long zooms, long or ultra-wide primes…
There are still plenty of holes to fill in the M4/3 lens arsenal!
Exactly! We can get T2 mount 600-1200mm lens to m4/3 but why when it is f/8-16 with fixed aperture? (Changes on zooming) And image quality is mediocore at best, requiring heavy post processing.
Someone should just bring 200-500mm high quality manual zoom with f/5.6 or even better, f/4, designed for m4/3 mount from the start. I would not care if it is manual zoom as it would be awesome if quality be about Samyang usual.
Yikes.
Manual ultra-telephoto takes some pretty serious discipline. I’ve only used a 300mm/f5.6, but it’s definitely a tripod only affair, and usually stopped down to at least f/8 just to get enough DoF while manual focussing…
The depth of field is identical with f/5.6 on 500mm as it is with a f/5.6 on 35mm, when the subject magnification (framing) is identical. So if you have problems to get person portrait in focus with f/5.6, then you have it with any focal length with same framing.
Who takes portraits at 500mm f5.6? FF, M4/3, I don’t care – the DoF with focal lengths that long is very, very small, and that makes things difficult.
Honestly, even if Tamron had literally repackaged their 18-200mm or even 18-300mm zoom from APS-C, they would likely have found more buyers than with a 14-150mm zoom that has no redeeming benefits over the existing competition…
Partially I agree.
Not that there would be wrong to bring those. As lots of photographers should learn to use manual focus like film era (and we didn’t miss focus even in sports).
But more I would like to see a small (Olympus 45mm f/1.8 and 25mm f/1.8 size) lenses that are wide angle rectilinear, with autofocus. Like where is a 8mm f/2.8 with build like those two oly lenses? 8mm would allow to get filter thread, and f/2.8 to make it small (compare that to samyang 7.5mm f3.5 that is small). It would be “throw in a bag” kind lens going everywhere.
“based on the original calculations”
“the lens maintains its so-called ‘soap’ bokeh”
“we have managed to keep the extraordinary charm of the lens”
“the new TRIOPLAN will be produced with the help of German Schott glass and will be “Made in Germany”.” (YES, they actually wrote Made in Germany in quotes)
“Historically accurate to its original design”
Looks like they’re riding on the sentiment for ancient lens that managed to persuade people that rampant optical aberrations give it a “charm” 😉
I wonder if this, too, will be a rebranding of some chinese lens.
This time they rebadged russian lens, wich is in its turn a rebadged german (1938) lens. All of those on extra budget: please send that extra $$$ to my paypal account! I have a better use for your money!
Nice! Let’s hope it’s on the same level as older Meyer Optik lenses!
Unfortunately, it’s really just a 135 format lens with a M4/3 mount stuck on, so it’s not really a native lens. For maximum usability (i.e.: A7-series) I’d get it with a Nikon mount.
Depending on how good it is and the price, it sounds interesting. If I didn’t already have a Nikon 105mm f2.8 macro and Pentax SMC Takumar 105mm f2.8. Maybe I’ll just sell them all and get a Zeiss 10mm f2.8 macro. 😉
oh, i want to see new material for new optic ,glass is nomad tech for lens produce
that many composite material inside(please return to basic science on chemistry)
new material will transparent more than glass > 4%
less of CA and Distortion ,large scale Aperture ,lighter and cheaper
Where? i ever read about ultra-polymer may be Crystal (that they call)
build from mold,and one step complete,may not solid like glass but internal lens can protected by them self.
LOL ,may i was Drunk ,but why? this time on new century but optic science still same old WW II technology,or many scientist of optic tech was stupids.
I think this is already happening to an extent with different types of glass used in lenses. How much better lenses can get with exotic materials, I have no idea. I once heard that a lens for staellite was made from a ruby crystal or some such… but can you imagine the prices? 🙂
thanks so much,
or that mean

They are going to offer the Nocturnus 35/0.95 in MFT mount as well. For just €1,999…
Argghhhh! LOL
Is anyone actually planning a NATIVE m43 35mm fast prime? I want something portable to fill in the space between 50mm and 90mm full frame equivalent. I am perplexed at all the m43 prime lenses around 30 and 40mm with none at 35mm!
SLR Magic makes a 35mm, I think.
I think not native… I was hoping for something along the design of the Olympus 45mm… However, yes, I either wait or get one of these. I have to research which one is the better choice for me.
Hmmm… maybe native, I will look into it… I ignored it previously because it is advertised as a cine lens… I have to check performance for photos.
