A while ago Meyer Optik
Görlitz brought back what they call the "Wonder Bokeh" Lens to today's
photography the amazing Primoplan 58mm
f1.9.
80 years after Meyer
Optik's engineer Paul Schaefter constructed the Primoplan 58/ f 1.9, they resurrected
one of the most famous lenses of all times – known for its ability to create
different bokeh effects all with one lens. This lens gives photographers a tool
which truly enables them to express themselves in different ways with this
single lens.
The Primoplan 58/ f 1.9
was historically the founding element of the so called night Exakta a famous
camera of the 50s. This lens was the fastest lens for the Exakta and the
successor of one of the most sought after lenses, the so-called Kinoplasmat by
Dr. Paul Rudolph, one of the best optical engineers of all time. The Primoplan
lenses are designed by members of the original development Meyer-Optik team in
Görlitz. They are handmade in Germany.
Photographers have the
choice of creating a bokeh of melting, rotating bubbles, catching light
reflections softly or to compose a creamy, dreamlike background. Furthermore, it is possible to employ the
unique, discrete swirl of the lens, thus dramatically enhancing a portrait or
making use of the wonderful and smooth transitions from fuzziness to classical
sharpness.
All these capabilities are
in the photographer's hand with this single lens. Images created with the Primoplan 58/ f 1.9
lens do not need post-processing filters – this is pure art.
Built with an optical
construction of five lenses, the new Primoplan 58/ f 1.9 is at the same time a
mechanical masterpiece. Meyer Optic
engineers have integrated the five lenses into a very small housing almost the
same as the equally famous Trioplan 50.
With this lens you add a fantastic piece of creativity to your
fingertips. Don’t miss the opportunity and check out the possibilities of this lens.
Get one lens and have the creativity of four lenses in your hand.

ReplyDeleterangefinder not supported… No reason to use it for Leica.
Depends on which Leica. Anything starting with the M240 as well as the Leica SL will focus just fine.
DeleteKarpiński Filip on screen. M240 don't have EVF right? Good alternative is Voightlander or even this new China 50mm 1.1.
DeleteThe M240 does allow for use of an electronic viewfinder as well as on-screen focusing, including focus peaking with both.
DeleteKarpiński Filip answered:
DeleteOh forget about Visoflex. U talking about this aren't u? My bad!
Yes, an electronic Visoflex is available for the M240.

ReplyDelete$1500 -- be cheaper to find the original.
But the original design didn't have access to many of today's superior optical glasses
DeleteCharles Trentelman answered:
Deletesure, but For $1000 I'm willing to tolerate a little extra coma, or whatever -- and isn't the "old" look the point?
The point of this new lens is the variable bokeh as well as the improved performance over the old version from the 50s.
