Hello again all ye LFers,
I would like to pose a question. Is the Verito 'diffusion' due in large part to the rather raggedy outline presented by the aperture blades in the studio shutter or is it mostly due to the actual lens design?
ie. Would a Verito be a similar beast if one were to take the studio shutter off it and replace the shutter with a brass barrel into which Waterhouse stops could be fitted? (Or indeed if one could get it fitted to an Ilex #5 for that matter)
Just how much of its character would be changed? Has anyone done this?
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!
