I love soft focus lens.... ======================================================================================= I would NEVER part with this lens. When I saw it in the display case at the camera store in 1985, I knew right away what a find it was. I guess they didn't, since it was priced at $12, and had a card next to it that read "paperweight?" At the same time I also bought a 19th century French brass focusing magnifier, also for $12. The photo gods must have been with me that week, since a day or two later I found the Graflex at another photo place and it was the perfect camera for the Verito, being an SLR. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
