Soft Focus Lens

Frank,

Haven't seen a Sigma soft focus lens, but a company named Sima used to sell one. It's a pretty cheap affair with a T-mount base, probably just one or two elements, and a push-pull arrangement for focusing. I sold one on eBay a few months ago, but had never used it. I believe they were sold in the 70s for soft portrait photography. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is what you're getting. Mine sold for about $30.00, more than many Konica lenses are going for in this "overpriced" market I've been hearing about.

Good luck,

Fred M.
