Has anybody ever successfully taken a regular lens and modified it into a soft focus lens? I have a piece of poo poo lens I could practice on, but I do not know if this DIY project would be significantly more expensive than just picking up a soft focus lens.

Or just put some vaseline on the front element.

That is exactly what I wanted to avoid. I know I can put vaseline on a front filter and keep the lens clean, but part of the experiment is also to get educated.
