Composer Pro II with Soft Focus II
The 50mm Soft Focus II creates an impressionistic image with subtle sharp detail beneath dreamy glow. Rendering a color palette tending toward soft pastels at brighter apertures and producing a remarkably flat field of focus, this optic makes possible images that are impossible to achieve with any other lens. Stopped down to f/8 or darker, the Soft Focus II produces beautifully detailed, traditionally sharp images with a large central area of focus and out-of-focus edges on full-frame sensors and 35mm film. Quick variability of the optical effect from impressionistic and full of glow to contrasty and sharp is made possible by the internal 12-blade aperture combined with four uniquely shaped drop-in magnetic aperture disks. Take full control with the SFII and Composer Pro II.

Create Unique Looking Images
"I was a big fan of the original Soft Focus optic, so this is a welcome upgrade. Love the wide range of looks this gives, everything from impressionistic to very clear. I can create even more unique-looking images by using the drop-in magnetic aperture disks that come with the lens (and I'll be experimenting with the disks that I have from the Creative Bokeh optic). This lens will be in my camera bag as a permanent fixture (along with the Velvet 56)."
