The swirl only comes from shooting them on a larger format than
intended,
generally.

Yes, yet another reason why it seems very plausible to me that vignetting is involved in the generation of swirl bokeh---and that it can be reproduced in part per last post with a mask of front element. Would not exclude other aberrations leading to its genesis though. The current incarnation is available for can/nik mount including drop in (that drop out easily!) aperture thingies. It clearly won't be everones cuppa but they do not produce a sterile rendering.

See, swirl bokeh is preserved. This is with the new Petzval repro.

ES further writes:

Some of the older lenses had various methods of adding
soft-focus, which is now a "craze" in the large-format world.

The other burning quesiton is how many people in the LF world constitute a "craze?"

Head swirling in office, Mike
