I have seen some pretty interesting work here from soft focus lenses and would like to experiment with the effect. But the price of some of the premier soft focus lenses, like the Veritas Veritatums, Vertigos, Pickhimup Smiths, and of course the famous Hugo Chevalier Doppel Pretzel, are more than I want to pay to experiment.
So how does one go about converting a normal type lens to a soft focus one? Could I just break the glass on one of the elements, or maybe glue another piece of glass to one of the lenses. Must be a manual of some type on violating older lenses to kill the sharpness and give a lot of coma?
