True; on the other hand, special mention is made of 'the special
optical design of the lenses provides a uniquely soft, smooth quality
to the blurred or out-of-focus areas of the image'.
I don't know how big the camera is, but the lenses are _huge_. The
zoom and 35 take 95mm filters, and even the 150/3.2, 210/4 and 50/3.5
take 77mm filters. Makes the Mamiya seem tiny in comparison.
