This is the first volume of the book on Meyer-Optik lenses, written by the renowned German classic camera researcher Hartmut Thiele, known for works like the Zeiss phonebook. The book is in German and was published in 2024, with a total of 281 pages.
It provides a valuable resource detailing the story of Hugo Meyer and Meyer-Optik, the company behind iconic lenses such as Plasmat, Primoplan, and Trioplan. The book includes information on lens models, production lot numbers, serial number ranges, and manufacturing years.
The lenses covered range from the 1897 Aristoskop to Pentacon-branded lenses from 1990, spanning a long history.
Following the story of Meyer, the book offers detailed lists, including serial number-based lens lists, lenses categorized by compatible cameras, and a list of lenses for Pentacon and Praktica cameras.
While the book is in German, in today's AI-driven era, it is easy to use a smartphone camera to take pictures of the text and have the translation done in seconds. Truly a remarkable time!
This is a brand-new imported book, but as it is a foreign publication, there may be slight scuffing or corner creases, even though it is still considered new. Please be aware of this in advance.
