Thanks a lot. App 4 or 4.5, as far as I remember

Some soft focus flowers and two scenes. I have not tried portraiture yet. Thanks for setting up this club.

I'll observe, somewhat repeating myself, soft focus seems to work especially well with flowers, high key and pastel colors, but there are exceptions, but those are exceptions.

My pleasure... I thought it would motivate the owners to do more experiments... and shoot more with this lens!
I like your shots very much...
they are very special lens with a unique character...

Flowers - the natural for soft focus (also attractive young women, and commonly high-key). 85mm f2.2 + Minolta #1 close-up lens on K1.

Very nice. I gotta go outside and try this.

Our clematis have begun blossoming today, one of my favorite soft targets.

NOTE: EXIF says FA, but this is an F lens.
