Ilex 10.5" Photoplastic Extreme Soft Focus - new images

Tracy if you get a chance post a couple of images shot with yours. I’m especially interested in how it performs wide open.

I’m going to be busy this week but next I’m planning on getting out and shooting some images that better represent what it does.

I’m not educated on soft focus lenses and wondering if these are similar to any other design. The only other SF lenses I have are a 200mm Imagon in a compound shutter and a Wollensak Vesta Portrait in a barrel and many years ago had Kodak in a #5 shutter and a B&J Rembrandt that I gave to a friend that worked for me. Wish I had the Rembrandt now.

It’s hard to tell much from this image but this was with the Vesta Portrait. It was shot wide open and I wouldn’t call it really soft.
