Seeing so many neat soft-focus shots attributed to "Petzval Projection Lenses," are modern(ish) 35 mm slide projector lenses typically Petzval formulations? I have an old (let's say 1960-70s) slide projector in the garage, would be willing to try the lens as a taking lens, but don't want to disassemble and potentially ruin the projector if the lens won't have soft focus effects or will have nowhere near the coverage for 4x5 (while I haven't used the projector in years, I do still have lots of slides sitting in drawers).
