Remember, we are talking about a lens that's around 80 years old.Īlthough there is no marking on the lens that says this is a macro lens, it can focus as close as a 18 inches. The sharpness at the center, though, can put many of today's expensive lenses to shame, even wide open. The edges are not sharp at all, and stopping down does not seem to help either. The lens produces images with swirling backgrounds. Optical Quality - If you are the type that demands a lens to be sharp corner to corner, this is not your lens. The only hickup is the rather tight focusing ring, due to grease dried up. My 1 inch f1.5 lens is at least 80 years old, and from the look of it, you would swear it looks like it was made 10 to 15 years ago. Dallmeyer produced lenses with exceptional built and optical quality. One of which is the Dallmeyer 1 inch cine lens.ĭallmeyer was an English optical manufacturer that made optical instruments, lenses, cameras, etc, from 1860 until the company disolved in 1993. To my surprise, I already had a few c-mount lenses. After I acquired the Panasonic DMC-G1, I started to look at lens options, including the c-mount lenses. Didn't pay any attention to it as I could not use it on my DSLR. One tiny c-mount lens, called the Dallmeyer Speed Anastigmat 1 inch (25mm) f1.5 came with a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff I bought.

The production of the lenses marked Domiplan, Oreston, Orestegon, Orestor, Orestegor, Lydith was continued when Meyer was incorporated into Pentacon.

1 Some trademarks used for Meyer lenses.In 2018 OPC Optics, a maker of special lens elements based in Bad Kreuznach, bought the brand from the bankrupt net SE. Later the new technology company net SE announced the production of the new Meyer lenses in cooperation with original Meyer optics engineers from Görlitz. In 2014 the brand management company Globell revived the brand on the Photokina. Orestegor 5.6/500 could be mounted on Exakta Varex, Exa II, Pentacon, Praktina, Praktica as well as Praktisix medium format SLR.Īfter German reunification the last original company's lenses were made until it's bankruptcy n 1991.

The first such a lens was Orestegor 4/200, which could be mounted on Exakta Varex, Exa II, Pentacon, Praktina and Praktica 35 mm cameras with applicable adapters. In mid 1960s Meyer introduced lenses with interchangeable adapters for different camera types. It became a part of VEB Pentacon and after some point, all the Meyer lenses were renamed Pentacon. Īfter WWII Meyer was the second East German lens supplier after Carl Zeiss Jena. In the 1920s he developed fast variants, the Kino-Plasmat f/2 and the World's fastest lens of its time, the Kino-Plasmat f/1.5. Paul Rudolph, the inventor of Zeiss' Tessar and Protar, developed Meyer's Double Plasmat which was derived from Meyer's symmetrical Euryplan lens. Meyer was a German optical company, founded by Hugo Meyer (born, died ) in Görlitz. Meyer lenses: Primagon, Domiplan, Lydith and Trioplan
