[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Meyer Optik-G\u00f6rlitz Primoplan 1.9\/58mm – authentic vintage lens from the early 1950s!<\/p>\n

MADE IN GERMANY!<\/p>\n

M42 screw mount<\/b> version in silver aluminum – <\/b>\u00a0one of the most versatile and sought-after versions of this optic. The M42 mount (also known as “Pentax Universal”) makes it incredibly easy to adapt to almost any modern digital camera.<\/p>\n

Historical & Technical Profile<\/h3>\n

Production Year:<\/b> 1952.<\/p>\n

Mount:<\/b> M42 (42mm x 1mm thread)<\/b>. This was the “pro” standard of the time, used on cameras like the Praktica or early Contax S.<\/p>\n

Construction:<\/b> High-quality solid aluminum<\/b> “Silver” barrel.<\/p>\n

Aperture Type:<\/b> Pre-set or manual. You likely have two rings at the front: one to set the desired aperture and one to quickly stop the lens down before taking the shot.<\/p>\n

Iris:<\/b> This model features 14 curved steel blades<\/b>. This is a “holy grail” feature for bokeh enthusiasts because it maintains a perfectly circular opening at any f<\/span>-stop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Great for photo & video on DSLR, can be used on pretty much any modern camera system \u2013 Nikon\/Canon,\u00a0mirrorless systems: Sony NEX, Olympus Pen, Panasonic G, Canon EOS M, Nikon 1, FujiFilm X-mount etc.<\/p>\n

Optical Behavior<\/h3>\n

The Primoplan 1.9\/58<\/span>\u00a0is often called the “little brother” to the Trioplan<\/strong>. The M42 silver model from the early 50s carries a specific “rendering DNA”:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    The “3-D” Pop:<\/b> The transition from the sharp center to the blurred background is very abrupt, which helps subjects “pop” out of the frame.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Soap-Bubble Bokeh:<\/b> While the Trioplan 100mm is the king of bubbles, 58mm<\/span> Primoplan produces them beautifully at f\/1.9<\/span>, especially with backlit foliage or city lights.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Vintage Flare:<\/b> Being an early single-coated lens, it is prone to artistic “veiling flare” when shooting toward the sun. This creates a warm, nostalgic glow that many photographers now spend hours trying to replicate in Lightroom.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
