This was shot with the Mamiya Sekor 150mm soft focus lens. It’s really for portraits. At apertures of f4 and f5.6, you get the soft, glow effect. At f8, it acts like a normal lens. This is not photoshopped but what the lens does. Kodak TMAX 400. Developed in Kodak TMAX developer, 6 1/2 minutes at 70F.
