Here is an example from our own pages, using a nylon stocking over the lens:

JP: correct me if I'm wrong, but one advantage a diffusion filter has over a traditional soft focus lens (for landscape work) is that the amount of diffusion is independent of f/stop. Shooting a landscape with a Verito stopped down will look pretty much like a photo taken with a "normal" lens, but a landscape shot with a sharp lens can be softened at any aperture when diffusion is added to the front. Personally, I like the look of SF lenses better, but when shooting landscapes other considerations might be at play.
