#Hugo meyer primoplan 1080p#
I've used this lens with my Micro 4/3 camera and Arri to C mount and have 1080p video samples taken with the GH1 to show the photographic quality of this lens on a modern camera. There is a very mild internal haze and internal dust on the lens and a good cleaning would restore it to A mint condition. It is completely usable photographically with perfect cosmetics and fully working mechanics, smooth focus, clean aperture, and no scratches. mine is in good working condition with some minor cosmetic issues.

According to the report, net SE had additionally registered multiple other trademarks for respectable, but defunct, historical companies and was pursuing ways to insulate the new entities one from the other. More recent reports have net SE, the company behind the modern Meyer Optik Görlitz trademark, running what looks very much like an illegal ponzi pyramid scam, with Kickstarter implicitly assisting by tolerating breaches to its terms of service, meant to have restricted exactly this type of event from occurring. That same year, net SE - Globell Deutschland launched a Kickstarter campaign to produce the Trioplan f2.9/50, a special new lens that revived the tradition of a versatile "soap-bubble" bokeh lens. Meyer Optik USA is headquartered in Atlanta, GA. In May 2015, net SE created a new subsidiary, Meyer Optik USA Inc., to distribute Meyer-Optik-Görlitz brands in the United States. In 2014, net SE, a publicly listed company (NETK) founded in 1997, working with the brand manager Globell B.V., exhibited new lenses under the Meyer-Optik-Görlitz name at the Photokina trade fair and began delivering the lenses in December of the same year. However, despite privatization efforts, the company was unable to attract investors and was liquidated shortly after. In 1990, Feinoptische Werk Görlitz was spun off from VEB Carl Zeiss and converted into a private limited company and started to produce lenses with the Meyer-Optik logo. Many products were discontinued in favor of competing models produced by Carl Zeiss, while the equipment required to produce high-quality zoom lenses could not be procured.
After being integrated into the VEB Pentacon and VEB Carl Zeiss collectives, the Meyer-Optik name was no longer inscribed on lenses after 1971. In the post-war era, the company produced mainly Trioplan triplets, usually for viewfinder cameras produced by Dresden-based camera manufacturers Welta, Balda, Beier, and Altissa. During World War II, civilian production discontinued and mainly optical components for telescopes were produced.Īfter the war, the company was expropriated from the Saxony armaments industry and management under the name VEB Optisch-Feinmechanische Werke Görlitz. In 1936, the company was renamed Optische und Feinmechanische Werke Hugo Meyer & Co and produced approximately 100,000 lenses a year. Rudolph also gave Meyer Optik access to his patent for the so-called Plasmat lenses, which at the time included one of the most powerful lenses in the world.
