Soft-Focus Lens Examples

Very nice test!
Since all tej lenses are supposed to cover 5x7, was that the format used in the test?
What is the exact BW filter lens used together with Tele-Xenar 360/5.5? I would like to use it with my own lens. Thank you.

John,

So nice! Wide open? What film did you use?

[john wood]

Thanks Hugo!
I had that lens for several years and I don't think I ever stopped it down, lol. Wide open. Velvia 100.

John,

Your picture makes me want to try color film. :-)

I would like to see that! I was digging around the files for some other color Eidy work, and remembered I used this lens with a Chammy 8x10 from you! Time flies. But it flies better when out shooting.

Another stunning good one! Why am I not using this lens more?

This shot is from the Redwoods. It was taken with a 150mm Eidoscpoe F-4.5 on 8x10. Now I got this lens from Jim Galli and it is the front element reversed mounted in a Compeer shutter effectively making it an F-9 and 285-295mm or so. The print is a carbon transfer contact print.
