A quick #blog update for the new year. I was asked about the look of #softfocus lenses on the #Fujifilm X-T5, since my tests were always done with the GFX. The results were actually surprising.
The joint favorite on the GFX fails on the XT5, the winner remains the unicorn lens, and otherwise, in the APS-C format with many megapixels, you are best served with filters.

Drops of water on a window in sharp focus, with an out-of-focus background of trees and light-colored buildings; condensation covers the lower half of the glass.

Ein kleines #Blog Update zum neuen Jahr. Ich wurde nach dem Look von #Weichzeichner Objektiven an der #Fujifilm X-T5 gefragt, nachdem meine Tests ja immer mit der GFX waren. Die Ergebnisse waren dabei dann tatsächlich überraschend.
Der Mitfavorit an der GFX scheitert an der XT5, Sieger bleibt das Einhorn und ansonsten ist man im APS-C Format mit vielen Megapixeln am besten mit #Softfocus Filtern bedient.

Soft light, pastel tones, and the quiet beauty of early spring.
This gentle blossom cluster feels like breathing space in print form — warm, painterly, and serene. Perfect for anyone who loves subtle florals and calming wall art.

Another interpretation: Only the rich can be stewards of the environment because the poors can’t afford it.
Read the thread… all is confusion… but nice soft focus headshot…

I really love the #Tamron SP CF Tele Macro 70-150/2,8 Soft. It's a very unique #lens since it is a #softfocus tele zoom, where you can also switch the softness to 0 and getting a nice #vintagelens for #portrait.

Under my #blog entry about #softfocus lenses Russel postet his link to his Flickr page with many softfocus tests he did himself. Because I don't want to have it buried only in the comment section, here is his feed ...

The #Rodenstock #Imagon is a strange lens. It gets the soft focus effect through screen apertures, but these cause the light bubbles to take on strange shapes and the #softfocus effect mainly occurs at the edges. Somehow sought after, but not a favorite of mine.

Soft focus flower with delicate yellow petals that I caught on that Newark Valley trip

In a hyperreal, overly sharp digital image world, perhaps we should bring back a little more softness...
