Ethan,
Make your own to suit your needs. You can make a near-Softar
filter inexpensively. Get a plain UV filter.
Take clear or white nail polish and apply drops symmetrically
across the glass. Let them dry and use a wide aperture and
try it out. If you need more softening then simply
add more dots, if less remove some with a Qtip and acetone.
Acetone will not harm the coating on a filter, but keep
it away from the black ring as it will remove some paint
if you rub hard.
