What is the difference between a soft focus lens and a regular lens wide open or close to it?
What is the difference stopped down, recognizing that soft focus lenses, except for the Cooke, have been out of production for a long time?
I'm particularly interested in these questions in relation to the Wollensak Veritar 10"/250mm f6 as compared to a modern Rodenstock, Schneider, Nikon or Fuji of similar focal length.
If anyone knows of photographs on the internet that demonstrate the difference, I'd be most intererested in links.
Thanks.
