Can anyone comment on the two focusing guides. One is using a plane comprising (a portrait sitter's) two eyes, and the lips. The other guide is to focus on the tip of the nose. Are these the same rules said differently, or are they to be used in different situations, or something else?
Also, does a soft focus negative need more or less exposure, and more or less development, than a negative made with a "normal" lens? Assume for the moment the subject and lighting are identical.
I am trying to get the hang of a meniscus lens purchased from Mr. Galli. It has lots of personality, and I'm trying to be somewhat methodical at using the lens effectively. Thanks.
