P67 120mm Soft

Does anyone have experience using the 120mm soft focus lens for the Pentax 67? Care to attempt a description of the images it produces (relative to soft filters)? Also, I would expect this focal lenth to be a little short for close portraits, so how is the perspective?

<p>

Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,

<p>

I bought the 120 softfocus second hand a few weeks ago. My first impressions:

<p>

- Very nice effect. Sharp details with a lot of diffraction around it, espacially against the light. Best pictures (in my

opinion) at f4.

- Very difficult in focus. I had a lot of pictures with incorrect focus (my fault!). I often can+t see the correct focus in the

TTL-Finder. With magnifier no problem, but not so good to use.

- You can get a wonderful portrait-lens with the 2x converter.
