SOAP BUBBLE BOKEH LENS INSTALL
This trend become so popular, that Meyer Gorlitz re-launched their line of "Trioplan" lenses, after 50 years of cease of production! I just want to note, that even that this lens has "magic" bokeh, it still needs specific knowledge and practice, it is not kind of "just install and get things done" lens, whenever you use this adapter lens, or original Meyer Gorlitz production. They shortly discovered, that Cooke Triplet lenses produced interesting, "soap bubble" like blur in out of focus area, so called "bokeh". It was widely used in film projectors and relatively unknown to SLR market, until DSLR revolution happened and curious and open minded people started installing all kinds of lenses into their cameras.
But this particular type of lens remained quite popular, due to it's low cost and excellent cost/image quality ratio. In modern days, this design was replaced by more advanced lenses, which provided even better image quality. Meyerl Gorlitz Trioplan lenses uses one of the earliest camera lens design, so called "Cooke Triplet", which originates in 19th century and was the first one, which had correction for most kinds of image distortion (in simple words, providing adequate quality). This lens is for SLR/DSLR/Interchangeable lens camera, it can't be used on smartphone or fixed lens camera, sorry for that.īefore you continue, below is a little explanation text, why this lens is so different and what is the reason of getting one. No specific tools or knowledge is required, you will just need utility knife, hot melt glue gun, optionally - saw of some kind (Dremel, hacksaw, belt saw, etc.) and some simple components which can be bought from ebay. Not cheap (>$300), right? but it is possible for you to get almost same results, by simply combining off the shelf items together, which will need less than hour and will cost you less than $60. Impressed? now search Ebay for that lens, to see current pricing. Next, I will introduce “Soap Bubble Bokeh” photos that I photographed at various locations using Domiplan 50mm F2.8.If you don't know what is "bubble bokeh", then google for "Meyer Gorlitz trioplan samples". “Soap Bubble Bokeh” photos by Domiplan 50mm F2.8 The outline of “Soap Bubble Bokeh” in this photo taken with this lens is much sharper than that taken with Fujinon. This lens is frustrating because it is too close to shoot, but the image is not bad. I attached a Domiplan 50mm F2.8 to the SLR PENTAX K-7 and photographed the neighborhood at night. I learned from previous lenses that Soap Bubble Bokeh is prone to occur when there is a light source. with Domiplan 50mm F2.8 attached to PENTAX K-7 Here are some sample photos taken with the Domiplan 50mm F2.8. Use a mount adapter suitable for your digital camera. I’m introducing the mount adapter installation procedure on YouTube video, so please refer to it. If you use this lens with a SONY mirrorless camera, you will need a mount adapter called M42-NEX. If you want to use Domiplan 50mm F2.8 with PENTAX digital SLR, you need a mount adapter called M42-PK. Select a mount adapter (to use Domiplan 50mm F2.8 with a digital camera)Ī mount adapter is required to use the vintage lens with current digital cameras. I purchased this Domiplan 50mm F2.8 through ebay.
On the other hand, it has the same Toriplet type lens configuration as Torioplan and is now popular as a vintage lens for creating “Soap Bubble Bokeh”. The inconvenient part of this lens is the spec that the minimum focus distance is 75cm. Later, Pentacon in East Germany took over the production.Īt the time, this lens had individual differences in state, so the reputation seems to have been controversial. Domiplan 50mm F2.8 is the same Meyer Optik brand lens as Torioplanĭomiplan 50mm F2.8 was originally manufactured by Meyer Optik.
