Lens Overview — Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II

The Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II is a manual-focus telephoto prime lens built around one of the most storied optical designs in photographic history. Covering a full-frame image circle, this lens is available in a broad range of mounts — Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Micro Four Thirds — making it accessible to a wide variety of shooters regardless of their camera system. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, the lens offers meaningful subject separation and low-light capability for a portrait-length prime.

Focus is entirely manual, which suits the deliberate, artistic style of shooting that this lens is typically paired with. The 52mm filter thread keeps the lens compact and compatible with an affordable range of filter accessories. Weighing just 320g, it is a relatively lightweight option for a full-frame 100mm prime, making it comfortable for extended handheld use.

Image stabilization is not present, so users will need to compensate through technique or shutter speed. The Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 II is designed for photographers who prioritize a distinctive rendering character and broad mount compatibility over autofocus convenience or in-lens stabilization.
