The 50mm F2.9 was introduced around the beginning of the 1950s and remained in production through much of the 1950s and 1960s. Its optical construction is the classic Cooke Triplet formula with three elements in three groups. The red V marking on the front ring means the coated version of the lens.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e⚙️ \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLens Mount - M4\/3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocal Length - 50mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Aperture - F2.9\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Aperture - F16\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperture Blades - 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Focusing Distance - 0.8m\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Size - 35.5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocus Type - Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number - 1395362\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎥 Why Choose This Lens?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Meritar is an interesting choice for filmmakers and photographers who want something deliberately different from the highly corrected rendering of modern lenses. Its simple three-element Cooke Triplet design gives it authentic vintage optical character, while the 50mm focal length becomes a very useful portrait and short-telephoto perspective on Micro Four Thirds cameras. This serviced example combines genuine period optics with a practical M4\/3 adaptation, making it suitable for Panasonic Lumix, Olympus \/ OM System, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and other compatible Micro Four Thirds bodies. It is particularly well suited to narrative filmmaking, portraits, music videos, experimental work and projects where a real vintage image is preferred over a digitally simulated vintage look.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 This Offer Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ E.
