I have a friend who uses an old Sima soft focus lens he bought in Canada
back in '82 for $69 (Canadian!). It uses a T-mount, so it could be put on
Leicas!

He uses it to this day to shoot weddings, portraits and makes thousands of
dollars with it, and people just love his pictures. They're so soft and
fuzzy. <bleah!>

Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
