Meyer Optik Görlitz has announced the Biotar 58mm f/1.5 II, a new edition of a lens that was originally released in the 1930s, was made available for 25 years, and was the longest and best-selling Biotar lens ever.
Meyer Optik Görlitz has added native Nikon Z and Canon RF mounts to the six lenses it has released to date including the Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 II, Primoplan 75mm f/1.9 II, Lydith 30mm f/3.5 II, and Trioplan 50mm f/2.8 II.
Meyer Optik Görlitz has announced the third lens in its Trioplan series, and the sixth overall lens that can be ordered from the reformed brand. The Trioplan 35mm f/2.8 II is available in 11 camera mounts, including Nikon Z and Canon RF.
Meyer Optik Görlitz has announced that it has opened a new manufacturing facility in Hamburg, Germany. This new lens factory welcomes visitors, will expand to include a showroom, and will be used to produce new lenses for global distribution.
Meyer Optik Görlitz -- formerly disgraced, purchased, and reborn -- has announced that it is no longer a brand-name only and is now operating as an independent organization. In the Meyer Optik's own words, it is "a real company again."
A rare, collapsible version of the Meyer Primoplan 5cm f/1.9 LTM Leica M39 mm RF -- valued at $50,000 -- was listed for less than a day before the seller received a private offer to purchase it. Just a few months before, it was scooped up at a flea market for just $10.
Formerly disgraced, purchased, and reborn optics company Meyer Optik Görlitz is planning to officially re-enter the world of photography at Photokina 2020 in May, and it'll be bringing six redesigned lenses along for the ride.
Meyer Optik Görlitz is coming back from the dead... again. After an embarrassing and very public fall-from grace in 2018, the lens manufacturer, now owned by OPC Optics, is ready to begin re-releasing lenses that it promises are not just re-branded Chinese knockoffs at astronomic markups.
Meyer Optik Gorlitz is working its way back from the dead. After the company's very public failure—including the embarrassing admission that the $3,000 "Nocturnus" was just a modified $850 Chinese lens—the brand and its new owner, OPC Optics, is preparing to re-release "optimized" and "redesigned" versions of several lenses this year.
One of the big stories in the camera industry so far this year has been the bankruptcy of net SE, the German company behind the revival of classic lenses that raised millions of dollars through crowdfunding services such as Kickstarter.
The Lydith 30mm f/3.5 lens was introduced in 1964, and grew a cult following due to its excellent sharpness, contrast and color fidelity. Meyer-Optik now plans to create a modernised version, and the Kickstarter project has already tripled its goal.
Meyer Optik's renaissance—starting with the special Trioplan 'soap bubble bokeh'—has been nothing short of spectacular... and it's not over yet. In a bid to continue growing, the company is bringing back yet another lens from its storied past: the Primoplan 58mm f/1.9.
Meyer-Optik is on a hot streak—releasing lens, after lens, after special edition lens—and the newest piece of glass to get a USA release is their Trimagon 95mm f/2.6: a "dynamic modern lens" that features a simple 3-element design.
For the more practical among us, a gold-plated special-edition Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 lens that costs more than twice as much as the 'normal' version makes no sense. If you're one of those people, you probably shouldn't read on.
Meyer-Optik is celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Trioplan by resurrecting another iconic lens. Last year, the Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 brought back "soap bubble bokeh." Today, Meyer-Optik expands on it by bringing the legendary Trioplan 50mm f/2.9 back from the dead.
For almost two centuries, the science and art of photography has allowed people to capture the world around them through carefully crafted lenses. However, not all lenses are created equal. While most lenses just aim to please, others aim to impress. Today, we are taking a look at some of the most exotic lenses we could find.
Since Globell Deutschland revived the Meyer-Optik-Görlitz brand, they have been committed to continuing the legendary engineering of lens optics that began in 1896. As of late, they have introduced a number of high-quality lenses designed and crafted in Germany. Now, Globell wants to breathe life into a modern 100mm f/2.8 Trioplan ‘soap bubble bokeh’ lens, a piece of glass known for its unique bokeh. The company has launched a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign that has already raised more than $250,000 to bring this lens back to life.
