Hi,
I love soft-focus pictures ...
Inspired by this topic, I found a KENKO 45/4.5 SF on the Evil-Bay, I found the price reasonable, and bought it.
Should be here just before, or just after Christmas.
I'll show you some pictures asap !
CU,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,
Nice to see you here. I am a great fan of your pictures on GetDPI. Congrats on the Kenko, that's a lens that I would be glad to put my hands on - unfortunately, eBay is blocked here in Myanmar due to the US economic sanctions so I will have to wait before I can get one.
Waiting for your pictures with this lens,
Cheers!
Abbazz

Great pictures, Rafael!
For all the soft focus lenses lovers at MFLenses, here's my Christmas present. This is a link to a very erudite university thesis titled The soft-focus lens and Anglo-American pictorialism, written in 2008 by William Russell Young of the University of St Andrews (UK):

Happy reading and season's greetings to all!
Cheers!

You're very welcome!
This is indeed a great read but unfortunately, there are some pictures not included in the PDF.
Cheers!

Do these count?
I shot those on a foggy day with a Helios 44-2, and heavily processed them in LR.

I am interested to experience more in this area of pictorial photography. I would be more interested in landscapes than portraits. What lenses do you recommend for this purpose (K bayonet, M42 mount (preferably preset), or T2 mount )? |
