Excerpt from Photograms of the Year 1914: The Annual Review of the World's Pictorial Photographic Work No account of progress in the year's photographic work would be complete without a reference to the use of what are termed soft-focus lenses, the employment of which appears to be getting general among pictorial photographers. These lenses have the very desirable quality of conferring a certain amount of breadth of effect to the photographic image, and as this quality, in its right degree, is one that the artist is ever seeking, they appear to fill a long-felt want. In the past, a variety of means have been suggested for the purpose of obtaining a suppression of hard photographic detail and outline, and the use of diffusing media, pinholes, etc., have been adopted with varying success, but it has remained for the Optician to produce a perfectly legitimate method whereby breadth can be introduced without in any way endangering the truthfulness of the rendering, and, at the same time, giving a distinctive quality and modelling. In this way an essentially technical contrivance has been applied to produce an undoubted pictorial result.
