It was ... re-branded Chinese lenses and all ... but the brand-name and the "Trioplan revival" concept has been bought up by a new group of "entrepreneurs", as yet it's all smoke and mirrors, as far as I'm aware!
T2-mount is a good idea, but extensively reduces the opportunity for profit
FWIW I bought a very clean 50mm f/2.9 Trioplan "original", mounted on a very clean Exa body, just a couple of weeks ago on eBay for £30. The "asking prices" from the dreamers out there are significantly higher, but if using eBay as a guide, you need to filter the sold items by "Auction" to find the "real" market prices
As written elsewhere, if anyone wants to experience the "triplet effect", aka "soap-bubble bokeh", a Domiplan or Meritar, even a re-mounted Reomar, will provide the effect at a "sensible" price
