I have sold a couple of large Trioplans so far, but i never had such a beast in my hands. Its the first and only 360mm F3.5 specimen i have encountered so far. Its  hell of a lens, which comes in great condition also. With its faster aperture of F3.5 (compared to the standard F4.5) it offers even more fine detailing with your DOF when shooting portraits, and might give you that tid bit faster exposure when you need it!


History: The Hugo Meyer Trioplan lens is legendary not only among large format photographers but also well known and respected on 35mm cameras. Its creamy 'bubble bokeh' can only be found in this lens design, and Trioplan lenses score high prizes among Leica and other analouge shooters. Another big advantage with the Trioplan is, that its really lightweight compared to similar lenses (Voigtländer Heliar of similar size weights 3 times that), thats usefull if your camera doesnt take heavy lenses or for field work.

The condition of the lens is really good. The black laquere shows only minimal wear here and there, but the most important thing: the glass is in a great condition, showing only minimal cleaning marks which have no effect on the final image, otherwise its very clear without any haze or fungus. The aperture is complete and moves smoothly from F3.5 to F22.


The lens comes with its original flange and lenshood.
