With the soft focus lenses, indeed the area of in-focus is great. It's like layers of in-focus focus stacked on each other and you have to pick the right one. Doesn't snap in and out like a plasmat. A bright catchlight in the eye can be focused on to provide the smallest glow to determine it's in focus. You'll see in and out of focus at the same time with soft focus! You'd have to minimize the out of focus portion of the image at the plane of focus basically, rather than trying to find the in-focus portion.
