One other thing. Is the charm using the vintage lens for a vintage look or is
it the results that matter?
For me, it's both. I like my menagerie of vintage lenses, but I also like my collection of LensBabies. And in the end,
it is the results that count.
I took the advent of my LB Soft focus II and Carol going off to a retreat for a couple of days to do a test I've long
contemplated. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Lenses/Soft%20Focus/IntentionallyImperfect/SoftComp.htm>
The 1960-61 design Canon 58/1.2 is certainly vintage.
The Nikon Soft filters are also vintage. Nikon went as far as producing a prototype of their own Soft Focus Nikkor-S
105mm f/2.8. It was never produced as the head designer was dissatisfied with the problem of softness requiring close to
wide open apertures.
The solution was the Nikon Soft 1 & 2 filters, released in 1967.
There are lots of things wrong with this test, but I find the results
interesting and useful for my lens and filter choices.
