Hello MLonlooker. I spent a few days in the Alps and the place was packed with butterflies. And yes, I did some shots with the TTArtisan. I'm going to write a rolling review, but in the meantime I'm posting some shots here. The lens does seem to behave like the Trioplan: fully open there is the low contrast with highlights bloom, bokeh balls and “structured” bokeh that sometimes is really good, sometimes ruins the photo.
I didn't have the time to make a head-to-head comparison with the original Trioplan (butterflies aren't the proper subject for this task), but this guy did:

Below a few samples (post-processed). I tried to embed them into this post, but it doesn't seem to work.
