As a rule all old lenses are (much) more compromised compared to their modern equivalents - simply there is technology today in design and manufacturing that was undreamt of for the most part of 20th century.
But precisely in those optical compromises (and the nature of films) lie part of image's character, and that can be used as an artistic tool. I am not interested to produce images akin to scientific registration of reality as most modern equipment strive to. If I want to see reality as it is I can just look out of the window, why bother to take pictures besides sentimentality?

Thanks. Those old soft focus lenses are great, hard to find now.
