Delivering an unmistakably distinct bokeh quality, the Meyer-Optik Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II M42 Lens Blackfrom Meyer-Optik Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II M42 Lens Blackis an update to and centennial commemoration of a classic vintage optic and is available here for M42-mount cameras. Version II of this manual-focus telephoto prime utilizes a revised triplet optical design to produce a distinguished image quality with strong colors and central sharpness, along with improved contrast and higher resolution rendering. Also, fifteen aperture blades further help to produce smooth circular bokeh that is the lens's calling card, dubbed "soap bubble bokeh." Additionally, differing from the classic design of the century-old predecessor, this lens does feature modern coated Schott glass optics for notable contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
