Thanks, Piers, but I’m happy with the idea of adjusting the look of a picture
by its softness. It was more the quality of the Velvet that I wanted to check with
anyone who might have used it.
I’m still vacillating, but I’m rather tempted.
The sunset and the two cloud images here are LB Velvet @ f1.6

A Marnie Bucket unprocessed but for WB from a gray card and exposure.

These are some tests I recently ran for myself. LensBaby Velvet 56 and early, silvernose OMZ 50/1.4, at apertures from
wide open to f8.0.
A lot of useful stuff for evaluating the look of the lenses, I think, a wide range of colors, carefully focused on the
swizzle stick in the Martini glass, using image magnification, then background at various distances, with brightness behind.
Softness vs. DoF is interesting. Velvet @ f8 has the foreground objects about as sharp as 50/1.4 @f4, but DoF is very
different. Lots o Bokeh , and with bright spots.
Not ACR, or any other processing. FastStone Raw conversion with downsizing in one batch step.
