I keep seeing on Facebook advice about smearing Vaseline on a lens to create a "dreamy look" to one's photos. Who in their right mind would ever do such a STUPID thing to their equipment!
Me. It's an old technique (and I'm old). You didn't 'smear' it on. A light coat was all that was required and it was not that difficult to remove.

Often used with a UV filter, rather than directly on the lens.

That and the same techniques used with the enlarger lens. with the enlarger you could selectively soften. IE; leave the center clear. Raise or lower the filter to vary the effect.

In the old days you only had manual so you learned. Then came light meter. What a great invention! Next came autofocus (sorta), then automated aperture and shutter modes. Then program scene and auto.
I still shoot manual with 1950 era Muscova 4. You even have the activate the shutter (if not no picture)and advance the film by a knob (if not double exposure).
Everyone should learn manual.
