The Varium was not a "soft focus" lens per Wollensak's catalogue page of 1928. Thats not to say it didnt produce softer images, but it is not a "soft focus" like the Vitax, Verito or Velo II. It was also only the market a few years and is uncommon.
I will have to check my notes on Crown - I believe they did sell/produce a SF lens or two.
Thanks
