Rodenstock Soft Focus 200mm f/5.8 Imagon-H Lens with Copal 3 Shutter Recommendations

High quality lenses yield sharp, crisp images. In portraiture and product photography, a softer image is often desired. The Imagon lenses do not produce the blurred images known from incorrect focusing or poor quality lenses. It rather overlays a clearly defined image core with delicate diffusion, controlled by adjustable push-on perforated diaphragms. By spreading highlight outlines into the shadows, the Imagon softens the hard definition, yielding portrait or landscape effects that range from a slightly flattering rendering to dreamy, romantic moods.
