[QUOTE="hark, post: 671034, member: 13196"] Not sure I'm supposed to own this lens. :beguiled: The first one I purchased in EXC+ condition from KEH had a sticking point at 35mm when zooming in and out. I sent it back and ordered one in Like New condition via an Amazon seller. Now let me say this copy looks to be in pristine condition. :encouragement: So I took it out this afternoon with a [URL="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/686565-REG/Hoya_A_62CRPLHRT_62mm_HRT_Circular_Polarizing.html"]HOYA 62mm HTR CP filter[/URL] on the lens as well as a lens hood. The lens worked well, but a few times when I rotated the CP filter, the image in my viewfinder became very light. There was more blue in the water which I wanted, so I took photos with the CP filter set that way. So here is a screen shot of the folder of images. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]289276._xfImport[/ATTACH] Please notice 6537, 6538, and 6541. They look slightly lighter than I would have expected because since they were so light in the viewfinder, the camera should have underexposed them. I didn't override the exposure in any way. I will attach unedited jpegs of 6537 and 6538. Since I opened them in ACR, the default settings were applied (such as sharpening and the default camera profile settings).
