I found another method of getting soft focus, but I wouldn't recommend it... Last week I found an old +4 close-up lens in the bottom of my bits box. It was so dirty i cleaned it with dishwashing liquid and hot water. Well I must have not dried a properly because when I was trying it I found condensation between the camera lens and close up lens. Made an interesting effect though... http://www.rileyelf.free-online.co.uk/imgp1992.jpg :-0 Andy. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
