In the subject of (not my vote yet) soft focus without filters: There can be an issue there. What is the difference between soft focus with a filter on the camera vs one in Photoshop? Personally I prefer PS because at a later date I may want a sharper version, of a softer one. This way I have more control over the final details AND, it makes it harder for someone to reproduce my art. In the same vain, I could use filters on the camera to create the same effects but I choose not to most of the time.

If we start going with challenges like "Soft Focus without E-filters" and "No Post Work", will we then get into "B&W but only B&W from the camera"? or "Film, no digital"? If so I am screwed. My film camera hasn't been used in over year. Add to that my D100 doesn't have a B&W option, it does have Sepia though!
