When used on Fujifilm X series cameras with their APS-C sensors, the lensвЂ™ 35mm sensor equivalent focal length is 112.5mm while the equivalent focal length of the M43-mount version is 150mm. Its 14 aperture blades enable the camera to create impressive blur patterns even when stopped down.вЂќ The 75mm focal length creates a natural viewing angle and does not compress as much as longer focal lengths. The Primoplan 75 f1.9 II is known for its fine progression from focus to blur, exceptional base sharpness and unique, dreamy, creamy bokeh, which lets the light magically flow together. вЂњMEYERвЂ™S LEGENDARY PORTRAIT LENS IS BACK. Meyer-Optik GГ¶rlitz Primoplan 75mm f/1.9 II lens for Fujifilm X-mount cameras. Lens: Meyer GГ¶rlitz Robot Primotar 1:3.Meyer-Optik GГ¶rlitz, one of the longest-established camera lens brands, has announced a version of its вЂњlegendaryВ portrait lensвЂќ for Fujifilm X-mountВ camerasВ along with versions for Leica L-mount, Sony E-mount and Micro Four Thirds mount cameras. Lens: Meyer GГ¶rlitz Robot Primotar 1:3.5 F=3cm (M26, 1936) This one was born in 1936, is uncoated and in remarkable good health, particularly considering it is 85 years old and been through a world war.

Meyer was generous when they designed the Primotar for the Robot system because it easily covers the full frame sensor, albeit with vignette. It remained in production until the 1950s at which time 24x36mm and half frame was an option. The Robot started as a 24x24mm camera with M26x1 lens mount in the mid 1930s. It is called the poor man's Trioplan because it bubbles like the Trioplan 100/2.8, which is a Meyer legend. The 135/3.5 Primotar on the other hand is a great lens. There is a later (and more expensive) f/2.8 Primotar, but it still does not come near the Primoplan.

It is a good lens, but at f/3.5 it is slow.

The Primoplan 58/1.9 is a real gem, lots of character wide open. Yes they will be clean, no dust inside, perfect mechanics, better lens coating. I'm not sure what the reincarnations can bring what the old ones cannot. For that money you can, with some patience and searching, buy an entire set of originals, with the exception of the 75 mm primoplan which is rare and expensive. have a look at our sample threads, or Meyer threads form previous years, with lots of examples.ДЄll the reincarnations of the original Meyers are in the 900 euro price range. There is a f2.8 version too, but that's not (yet?) in my collection.Д¬omparing it to 135 or 180mm seems less usefull to me, but the P'tar 135mm is a fine lens too, with bubble bokeh potential.ДЄs Pegelli said. Please note that I only can compare to the P'tar 3.5/50mm. Difficult to describe though, but teh Primoplan is one of my favourites. I like the old Meyers and have no experience with the (much more expensive|)new ones.ДЄ choice between Primotar and Primoplan (50mm?) would be in favour of the Primoplan in my case. I would include the 100mm Trioplan in that list if I had one. Among the 17 or so different Meyers that I have, the ones I use most are the Primoplan, 135mm P-tar, 135mm Orestor, 50mm Oreston, 50mm Kinon, and 50mm Trioplan. I don't know what a Trimogon is but if that's a new lens, it isn't really a Meyer. The 180mm benefits from a helicoid adapter to get closer focusing. I do also like the 3.5/135 and 3.5/180 Primotars. Primoplan (the original) is a wonderful lens in my opinion and other than optical design, it is much faster than any of the Primotars, focuses closer, and more shallow depth of field (goes with the speed). I like the real Meyer lenses from the past and they aren't as crazy expensive. Questions for you: how exactly is Primoplan different from Primotar?ДЄnd second: if you had to choose two of the 'new designs' from current Meyer Optik, which ones would you choose and why? I am myself new to these wonderful lenses, I own the new Trimagon 95 (EF mount) and very recently the Primoplan 58 (M42 mount).
