[Leica] Comparison shots of two legendary portrait soft focus lenses

[Don Dory]

JIm, if you get the itch, KEH typically has quite a few view camera
lenses.  The may not be on the main site but on the Ebay side of the
business as they don't typically clean lenses that sell under 100-200
dollars.  Large format lenses are very easy to clean so even a little
fungus on an ugly lens shouldn't be a problem.
