Never confuse "soft focus" with "out of focus".
The results and the causes are totally different.
Perhaps in the next five years, after my current book
project & exhibition are completed, I'll finally put
into print the (already) decade of research on soft
focus, period & contemporary. NOTHING results in
"soft focus" except a lense designed specifically for the purpose;
not degrading filters, not poor optics, not the user's
inability to focus...
