Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 II

The Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 II hearkens back to a venerable optical formula over 80 years in the making, presenting a unique prime lens with a slightly longer than normal length for Canon EF cameras. This lens boasts a substantial f/1.9 maximum aperture, manual focusing capabilities, and is adept for creating striking selective focus and soft background effects. Its distinctive bokeh, particularly notable when wide open, exhibits an iconic swirly character, transitioning to refined and smoother background patterns when stopped down. The optical arrangement is straightforward - a quintet of elements in four groups, along with Schott glass to maximize clarity. Supplemented with an O'Hara Anti Reflex Coating, the lens mitigates reflections, curbs lens flare, and bolsters image contrast. The construction also includes a robust and light anodized aluminum body to enhance focus precision while maintaining a stealthy operation.
