This is slightly off track as regards the Rolleicord Triotar but my B35
has a 40mm f3.5 Triotar. I did some comparative tests with my 35S with
40mm f2.8 Sonnar. The Triotar is a really crisp lens and easily
out-performed the Sonnar on big enlargements but I do not think that
that Sonnar is a good example. I have a C35, 35, 35T, 35TE and 35SE and
they all take very good pictures but I have not done any comparisons.

Subject: [rollei_list] Lens "look" of Triotar?
I'm wondering about the Triotar lens. Do people who've used it like the
effect for wide-aperture portraits and such where a hard, sharp look is
not the desired result? Used wide open, is the "look" recognisably
different from that of a Tessar or Xenar used wide open- is it
sufficiently different to warrant using it instead sometimes? What about
the other wider apertures before you get to f8?
Any other info about the "Triotar look" would be much appreciated.
FWIW I always avoided any three-element lens, thinking that a
Tessar-type was always automatically a better choice. With a lot of
vintage gear I still don't own a single three-element lens. If I do this
it will be a big step for me.....
