The Rodenstock Imagon is a professional soft focus lens that was offered by Rodenstock GmbH from 1931 to the 1990s in various focal lengths for small , medium and large format cameras . The Imagon was designed by Franz Staeble , the founder of the Staeble factory , under the suggestion of Heinrich Kühn .

The lens has only two cemented lenses and is designed so that the aberration to the spherical aberration are largely corrected.

Due to the spherical aberration, a diffuse, unsharp image is superimposed on the sharp image, whereby the soft focus effect is achieved. The effect can be controlled by means of sieve screens that were supplied with the lens.
