Poised to deliver creative soft focus imagery, the Momo 100 from Yasuhara is a 28mm f/6.4 lens designed for Micro Four Thirds system cameras, and provides a 56mm equivalent focal length. Characterized by its simple doublet optical design, this lens relies on spherical aberration to produce a soft and glowing image quality, while still delivering in-focus results, for an ethereal look. Softness can be adjusted by manually adjusting the aperture setting, and manual focus control is also available for working with subjects as close as 11.8" away. Additionally, this lens is also characterized by its slim, pancake profile that measures just over 1" long for portability and a sleek overall form factor.

Yasuhara 28mm f/6.4 Momo 100 Soft Focus Reviews
DISREGARD PREVIOUS REVIEW
The previous review of this lens was from version 1. The new version 2 solved all of the issues and quality control. This is without a doubt the best soft focus lens I have ever used in my 24 years of photography. The first generation had me very frustrated with the issues so when I contacted the company directly I was surprised to find they had redesigned it. I was sent this current version and I am in love!
Terrible Build Quality!
After 50 years of photography, I thought I had seen the worst there was, from light leaks to plastic parts that broke by the power of my gaze. But the Momo 100 28mm f/6.4 lens for my Olympus Pen-F rotated in the mount several millimeters and could be wobbled in angle simply by touching the lens. Fortunately, B&H was - as always - great to deal with and I was able to return it for refund with absolutely no arguments. *IF* this lens had a good build quality, it would have been a nice addition to my bag. So if you want to try this out, you can order it from B&H and *IF* you get a good copy, it just might work for you. Experiences like this are why I like to order from B&H.
