Les,

Thanks for the heads up. Had a quick look a few days ago whilst still 
in the land of sun, olives and seafood.

There is a Wolly Velo II sitting here without the fuzzulator in a 
shot shutter. Have never got around to comparing the construction 
with the soft focus variety but am sure that the lenses are of the 
same construction. As you know - the lens does give great results.

Have some portraiture planned over the next few weeks so may post 
some of the  results in the f32 Discussion Forum. The aim is to get 
some good shots for the portfolio but also to make a qualitative 
comparison between the Wolly and a Bausch and Lomb Plastigmat 
Portrait lens that tends to get less use as it is on an 8x10 camera.

Cheers,
        Clive
