[LargeFormat] Wollensak Velostigmat Series II Soft Focus Lens

[Marco Milazzo]

Other than being variable, how does the look of the Velostigmat soft focus
compare to the Wollensak Verito?  (It's variable by stopping down) I
recently acquired a couple of them, (14 and 18-inch lengths), and am looking
forward to trying them.
