[rollei_list] Re: Rolleisoft filters....

Richard -

I've always found them pretty much useless, much too heavy handed as
you say. My solution is to shoot lenses that have un- or
under-corrected spherical wide open, as the classic portrait lenses
have. In the past, I've had pretty good luck in MF shooting fast
triplets like the Zeiss Triotar found on the old Rolleicords. I also
have a Welta 66 folder with a 75/2.9 Meyers Trioplan which is really
nice for this application.

Hello all,

I have gotten a hold of both the Rolleisoft 0 and 1 a few months ago.
Finally got around to trying them out with my 2.8E Planar.  All I can say is
"Ugh!".  I was looking for some kind of nice softness with sharp edges still
coming through but what I got was merely images that looked out of focus.
Any hints or suggestions on the "magic" these filters can provide or is that
pretty much it?

Thanks.
