The Trioplan 50 produces smaller, finer soap bubbles that turn into a small swirl effect in the corner of the image.

We give you the best of both worlds in one lens – with only 200 g or about 7 ounces - it has never felt so light to be this prepared. Carrying a heavy set of lenses is something that most photographers choose to shed at some point, but they do not want to cut back on their creativity. This feature takes the Trioplan 50 into the Macro-Spheres. The movable front lens reduces the minimum focusing distance to less than 30 cm (under 12 inches) and raises the image ratio up to 1:4. It is ultra compact and features an innovative front focusing element putting incredible amounts of creative opportunity into the palm of your hand. The new Trioplan f2,9/50 is the one lens you can use for every situation. These elements and the quality of the glass used takes the legendary Trioplan 50mm soap bubble bokeh lens to a wider variety of creative photographic situations, including events, travel, street, nature, portraits, macro and so many more scenes. Order the art lens that you will always keep attached to your camera body now! In addition to its regular focus element, the Trioplan f2.9/50 features a second front focus element that opens a whole new horizon of creativity to the world of photography. We just launched our Kickstarter for the Trioplan f2.9/50, a special new lens that returns the tradition of a versatile soap bubble bokeh lens to the Meyer Optik line up.

#Soap bubble bokeh lens design manual
Meyer Optik plans to produce the manual focus lens in mounts for: The lens uses a basic Triplet design with three elements in three groups with a 12-bladed iris designed to help produce smooth and circular out-of-focus highlights at all apertures. The new 50mm Trioplan also has a movable front element that allows much better close focusing and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:4. The new lens will be an updated version of the company’s original 50mm Trioplan but using glass from the Schott factory and with modern coatings and production standards. On this occasion the company is hoping to reach an initial target of $50,000 – which is going swimmingly, as it met that goal within hours of the campaign going live. The company has recently released a 100mm F2.8 Trioplan after a similar Kickstarter campaign that raised almost $360,000. The Trioplan design is known for its exaggerated circular bokeh which earned it the nickname 'Soap Bubble Lens' in its original version. German optical manufacturer Meyer-Optik Gorlitz has begun a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to produce a modern 50mm F2.9 version of its Trioplan lens.
