I recently purchased the lens for very little as an impulse, but know very little about it. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought it was a softer portrait lens, but on closer inspection, it seems like just another general purpose lens. Does anyone know anything noteworthy about it? Thank you!

hi mark
i have a seminat too .. i have fooled around with it on and off .
haven't taken any portraits or still lives with it. it does give a nice smooth out of focus area.
what kind of shutter is yours in ?
mine is in some weird 1920s dial thingy.
strangely enough, i have seen seminats that looked nothing like the one i have, and
at one point thought there were more than one lens ilex badged "seminat" ...

john,
What a cool picture! It reminds me of a japanese print! Wow!

Here's a photo of mine, John. It's uncoated and in a nice Ilex No. 3 Universal shutter. Perhaps just another lens for the 4x5's for the high school kids to play with...

Oops, the image didn't go through. Let's try again... (sorry...)
