Hi D That is one of the moments I would really like to have a digital Pentax body. Testing different soft focus settings at different apertures is not very effective with a film body. The Tamron SP 70-150mm 2.8 Soft Focus lens has a separate ring with a preset 1-3 of or free soft focus settings, I will try with a modest 1 first, I think 2-3 will be too much (as shown lately here as somebody's PESO of a Childs portrait).
