Soft-Focus Lens Examples

[Mark Sawyer]

Randy: a question:

When you turn for more soft, do you then re focus?

To me these soft ones doesn't look soft, but more unsharp.. and if you don't refocus that will happen..

My thoughts exactly! Every lens I've ever tried that had adjustable softness (Cookes, Velostigmats, Paragons, Vitaxes, Ilex Portrait Lenses...) needed refocusing after the sharp/soft setting was changed.
