Fujifilm GFX100S & Sima Soft Focus + Macro 100/2 @ f5.6 (cropped)
I have recently become a true fan of soft-focus lenses. Perhaps this is due to the completely oversaturated, hyper-realistic imagery that surrounds us thanks to ever-improving lenses (but also AI). But good(!) blurring can be a treat for the eye and make you stand out from the crowd.
This one is a really cheap lens - in regards to money and also built quality. It looks like a DIY project out of 2 plastic tubes, but the Sima can really shine in a studio setting and the portrait worked out just I have intended. Of course it will vignette heavily on a GFX.
