“I am always looking for tools that offer me visual options. So I jumped on the opportunity to capture this incredible ‘bokeh’ in my images using a not so usual lens. I would have never thought of using any 50mm lens to shoot a portrait, but I am now so glad I tried - and now use the Trioplan 50 as one of my prime lenses.”
Guido Karp, professional celebrity photographer.
“The ultra lightweight and compact Trioplan 50 is so very versatile that I take it everywhere. No matter if I shoot a super sharp portrait or a dreamy flowery landscape, the Trioplan 50 is my current choice.”
Tamara Skudies, professional studio photographer, outdoor lover and connoisseur of historic lenses.
“I am always searching for the special and unique picture. The Trioplan 50 offers a lot of character to underline a special moment. It’s much more than adding an effect, it’s about preserving a special mood or feeling when capturing a moment. Since I am a professional wedding photographer, the abilities of the lens are a real enrichment to my portfolio.“
