Are the Nikon DC lenses "soft focus"? It was my understanding the "defocus control" only affected the out-of-focus parts of the picture, allowing you to vary the bokeh. Wouldn't you still need to put something in front of the lens for a truly soft focus effect?I'm looking to make up a 35mm kit around a few soft focus lenses. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any central listing of soft focus lenses produced for 35mm cameras. Furthermore, no manufacturer appears to have made a complete set of wide, normal, and telephoto soft focus lenses (Pentax seems to have come the closest with a 28mm and an 85mm).
So I thought I'd ask and see if the community could list all of the known 35mm format soft focus lenses. I'll kick it off with Nikon:
105mm f/2 DC
135mm f/2 DC
90mm f/4.8 fun fun lens
