Been playing with an old 200mm f2.8 manual focus lens I picked up which has a very odd macro/soft focus feature. Stopped down it produces fairly sharp 1:3 magnification images from about .9m but opened right up to f2.8 it gives a lovely smooth soft focus image with a decent dof. Here are a few experimental shots using a studio strobe and some less than fresh Valentines day flowers and Pampas grass heads.
