Softly stating WS:
 
<<Still interested in the cult Tamron 70-150 (51A) soft focus. The Lensbaby 
sharp 
<<center and soft edges effect is not of interest either.

Looks like a very interesting lens.  Uses SA at least in part and very 
adjustable.  AltdotMoose has a SF Minolta which is somewhat similar.  
The Tammy commands a high price too it seems.

It would be a fun lens to experiment with but would take practice and skill to 
use it well based on the samples I viewed. Weird bokeh lenses, IMO may be 
easier to get decent shots but are one trick ponies.

BTW, I believe the Oscillo Raptor was used to image CRT's for defects and was 
never terribly sharp.  It has a very interesting effect, and I would be 
pursuing its purchase if could adapt w/o too much hassle including a helicoid. 

The name is wonderful as it implies it is a cross between a lens and a 
velciraptor.  If you misuse it, it will eat your camera followed by the 
photographer.

Don't store the lens out of its case, Mike
