I just got a 150mm soft focus lens for my RB67. It came with the diffusion disks but I have no clue where they go. They don’t seem to fit on anything. Any one have a manual for this lens or can just fill me in to where they go?

Thanks

I own one of these lenses too. Those disks are tremendous depending on what type of image you are trying to capture.
(and don't forget to shoot wide open - adjusting for the various f stops when using the disks!)... Enjoy!!!

Erie, Thanks for sharing the URL link for the 150mm PDF. Although I have that lens, and figured out how to insert the disk (and the adjusted f-stop when using the disk), having the PDF just confirms my earlier experimentation.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the answers! I never would have figured that out. I had an acquaintance rave about his old 150mm he had before crossing into the "darkside" so I wanted one to. I will be doing some head shots for a model friend of mine so this will be awesome.
