The root cause of the problem was that an apparatus used to test the
mirror was incorrectly assembled. The HST primary was then precisely
ground to exactly the wrong figure.

Today I tried experimenting with the soft-focus art filter on my
E-PL1. If the result of soft focus is mild overexposure and lowered
contrast, then I've nailed it. Better luck with the lens, Kris. ;-)

Yes, exactly that, pieces of material that you put in front of the lens.
