It seems to have characteristics very similar to her images.

She has some very surreal colours and tones (especially the ones in the '121Clicks' interview posted above).

Wow ! Oh great, now I'll long for vintage lenses like that Meyer Trioplan 100/2.8.

Thou art a Legend! To be able to recognize a lens with its bokeh! You sir have my respect. My hats off to you.

Cast the legendary status towards THoog, the poster I had quoted. I am but humble messenger and had no idea that lens even existed before reading the word of THoog

No legend here, but I did know that some lenses "bubble", and when I did a quick search on "bubble bokeh", the Trioplan was mentioned all over the place - and the samples I found seemed to back it up.

Be careful chasing lenses with unique bokeh - it's a sure path to LBA (and madness)...

Oh no Todd! You research on this subject was definitely awesome!

Thought I should let you all know. So I myself am very curious about this lens. So the company does not exist anymore and there is a wikipedia article ONLY in German.

So no one has translated the article yet to English (Strange).

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyer-Optik

and this

Meyer-Optik Görlitz Lens List

Ok to break the bubble finally! I think the flee market in france does have this lens listed, however one has to be REALLY careful, there are several con-artists selling stuff there.

So I will be keeping an eye out.

Cheers! and thanks so much THoog
