What's the widest soft lens for that covers 5x7? Or 4x5 with movement. I'm toying around with doing some photos that are the opposite of documentary HABS super-sharp, maximum depth work. I used to have a 150mm soft lens on a Mamiya RB 6x7 (back in 1988) and I remember that the soft focus discs when used wide open gave me a look that couldn't be matched with a Softar filter or a diffusion filter. It was a sharp-softness that's hard to explain.
As I remember ... as the lens was stopped down, it became sharp and showed maximum softness wide open with the full effect of the holey-disc effecting the light path.
