I'm not sure whether I've ever seen a lens that performs best at f/16. ;-) In terms of sharpness at least.
Cool bokeh though.

F/11 ought to do the trick.
But I guess this is still an option for connoisseurs, so to say. Big Grin

Thanks for the heads up

I’ve often thought it would make sense for one of these brands to create such a lens (given that the real deal costs a fortune used) and can’t understand why nobody seems to have done it until now? I know there have been very expensive ‘licensed’ copies but as long as they don’t put the name Trioplan or Meter Optik anywhere then surely it’s just a very simple design that anyone can copy? The patents on the triplet design must surely have expired long ago

Can't agree more, was going to say the same thing
