    Overview

    The Kenko MC Soft 85mm f/2.5 is a soft focus lens with an achromatic doublet design and adjustable multiblade aperture to control the effect. Its optical strength is the ability to produce a controllable soft focus look, but it is not to everyone's taste (kds315). Build includes a multiblade aperture, and handling is straightforward. It suits photographers seeking a creative soft focus effect, though some suggest a simple close-up lens can mimic the result (Spotmatic).
