First (and last) review of the new Meyer Optik Plasmat 105 f/2.7 E-mount lens

Share

Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Meyer Optik Plasmat 105 f/2.7 lens. He had the Nikon mount version and adapted it on the Sony. This is the first and also likely the last review of this lens because Meyer Optik filed for bancrupcy and the lens can be no more preordered:

Based on the prototype I had, I can confirm that The Meyer Optik APO Makro Plasmat 105mm F2.7 has a unique signature 

  • At short distance you get this special bokeh
  • Aperture closed down, as from F5.6 you get very good sharpness and a nice color rendering that remembers me some analogue films 

So as usual, not a generalist lens , but a lens for vintage lens lover who like it’s bokeh and color rendering
