Digital “effects”
trying to mimic
Optical “effects”
generally fail
in the same way
that digital “effects
trying to mimic
Drawing and/or Painting “effects”
generally fail.

The Rodenstock Imagon lenses and Thambar and the like
achieve their effects in unique ways.
You may not like them or their effects;
yet they do draw unique images.
And the Imagons can deliver tack sharp to numerous
different types of softness along with glowing highlights.

I have a couple Imagons if anyone shooting large format film
has an interest.
