The body of the Soft Focus II optic is made from metal, which gives it a high-quality, robust feel. It has a single ring, which has a knurled edge towards the front optic to make it easier to rotate the ring to adjust the aperture setting.
This ring has markings running from f/2.5 to f/22 in whole stops from f/2.8 to f/22. There’s a subtle click as each aperture setting is reached. The setting is designated by the marking that’s aligned with the solid circle on the lens barrel/housing.
The easiest way to mount the Soft Focus II in a housing like the straight barrel or Composer Pro II is to rotate the aperture ring clockwise so that the aperture is open fully. Then pop the optic in the barrel ensuring that you align the solid circle on the aperture ring (which is beneath the f/25 marking) with the hollow circle on the barrel. Then twist the optic clockwise until you feel a soft click as it locks into place. You can now use the aperture ring to adjust the setting.
To remove the optic from the barrel, simply rotate the aperture ring anti-clockwise as far as it will go, then apply a little extra force to make it go beyond the smallest aperture setting (f/22).
The lens is focused using the focus ring on the housing/barrel. It’s helpful to close down to f/8 or smaller when you’re focusing so that the image is sharp enough to see what’s in focus. Once you’re happy with the focus, you can set the desired aperture based upon the depth of field or degree of softness that you want.
