I don't know if this has been cited here before, but I came across a very interesting site via this page: An Illustrated Guide to Antique and Classic Soft Focus Lenses. Besides the historical information, I am intrigued by the first Dallmeyer which achieved greater DOF by de-tuning the rear element to increase spherical aberration. This may be old news to some of you, but I may experiment with that a bit.

this site also has excellent section on Canon LTM lenses with current prices--I went there about 1000 times double checking before bidding, hehe.
