There is no comprehensive soft-focus resource, especially for small cameras. But here are several sites with information:
+Veijo Vilva and his main site http://galactinus.net/vilva/index.html is an excellent resource for smaller lenses and manual focus lenses. Great photos too.
You can always make your own: http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/cameras-film/exploring-simple-lenses

Welcome!
Here you will find information on my use of soft-focus and Pictorialist lenses, and my techniques for mounting, using, and processing images from these lenses in this very digital world.
In addition, I will expound from time to time on the subject of "The New Pictorialism", and the development of a reflective style in current circles. Topics from Google Plus posts will find a home here, and perhaps some relative permanence in the ever-renewing world of social networking.
