During that time Meyer-Optik Görlitz was famous for high end fast lenses. The price for a mint Primoplan has sky-rocketed in recent years as the lens is highly regarded by both photographers and collectors alike. The most famous aspect of the Primoplan is the stylish bokeh. And bokeh you get! A creamy twirling wonder bokeh.One of the best I have seen in my opinion. Yet when you stop the lens down a bit the image quality is super sharp. The unusual focal length of 58mm is ideal for portraiture photography. It just gives you a bit more space and you don’t have to be “in the face” of the subject. Portraiture shots become a real joy with the Primoplan. ********************************************************** This Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 lens in Exakta mount sells with no reserve at a price of $325. I have lots of more Meyer, Zeiss, Angenieux and Exakta mount lenses, and other rare lenses in Exakta mount. Also accessories, 35mm Rangefinder cameras and lenses, Medium and Large Format cameras, on my other Auctions, web page and eBay Store.
