I finally got the ISCO lens apart and fixed the focus problem. Couldn't get into the iris mechanism, so I ignored it. The lens has some fungus marks in it. I think that is what is giving the misty, old-fashioned look. It isn't a lens for everyday use, but it will make a nice special-purpose lens.

Lightroom reads the RAW data and performs whatever edits you want on it dynamically, so in essence everything you are seeing is a processed RAW file if the files you imported are RAW files. It does not render the image out to an RGB file format (PSD, JPEG, TIFF) until you say Export or

Interesting question! I didn't notice it while processing the image. I don't recall any lighting below the rails. I'll have to check the original. Cropping out the left 15% could work well. Rick --- Jack Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting shot. Is it lighting under the railing

Hi Mike The lens does give an interesting, misty effect - it seems more noticeable on some images than others, probably due to the amount of flare caused by the direction of the light. I have one of these lenses as well but mine's a bit later (it has ISCO rather than JSCO). I've never used
