Unique Softness
"The SoftFocus II is my new favorite Lensbaby! Creating a unique softness nothing like any other lens but allows for you to still capture the details and a great macro with a few filters!!! Way to go with another winner!"

Creative Precision
"The new version improves upon its predecessor by adding a 12-blade manually adjustable internal aperture to the drop-in magnetic aperture system that allows photographers to fine-tune the effect. With the original version you had to commit to the look you were going after before you started to focus, so this improvement should add for some increased flexibility and creative precision."
