It is a Taylor-type triplet. This type of lens is extremely sensitive to the
specific design, execution and individual variation of what's on your
particular camera. That said, all things being equal, you would be hard
pressed to see the difference between a triplet and a tessar-type away from
the corners, and corner performance for a good triplet is fine if well
stopped down.
I like to shoot heads with a good triplet wide open...
