something not right?!

[back alley]

look at the metal back of the front chair...kinda glowy?

 

[ampguy]

filter flare? weird lighting hitting the chair back causing veiling flare?

 

[DNG]

It look like it may be a bit outside the DOF field. compair the soft edges with chair in the front left corner. But, that little "glowy" area could be flair, maybe from the back panel section that has a hot spot on it, and reflecting off the medal chair? weird man!

I agree with DNG. Its slightly out of focus.

 

[back alley]

might be the filter, it's a rodenstock, nice filter, but my lens cloth seems to be in need of a cleaning as it's leaving more smudges than not behind.

at least i hope that's all it is...

 

[gavinlg]

just looks like a strange aberration to me, it's definitely out of the focus range - what lens?

 

[back alley]

if i recall correctly, i shot at 1.2 and focussed on the front of the table.

 

[swoop]

Magical chair.

It doesn't look unusual to me for a 1.2 shot.

I believe it is a combination of blur outside the DOF and blooming of the highlights, The blooming is more noticeable because it borders the shadows.

 

[Roger Hicks]

Irradiation or halation or both.

The former is caused by the light being scattered through the thickness of the emulsion, the latter by reflection from the back of the emulsion support.

Possibly also lens flare.

Yes, what Roger said ......at 1.2 its OOF and flared.

All these superspeed lenses do weird sh!t wide open occasionally IMO ... it's part of their appeal for me.

I see little in that pic that would concern me.

Let's just pretend it's "Leica Glow."

Let's just pretend it's "Leica Glow."

Exactly what it is! (Perfected, ironically, by the Canon 0.95)

Joe, the problem is, I guess, on the center of the picture, the thick double structure of the metal tube, right?
Sorry, nothing intelligent to say but it doesn't look like a classical OOF area, even for a very fast lens.

 

[JamesH]

Actually, I can't see anything amiss, apart from the blown highlights on that panel at the rear.

 

[Roger Hicks]

Sorry: is this a digital image?

If so, clearly NOT irradiation or halation.

But that's what they look like on film...

Cheers,

It is out of focus and exposed at maximum aperture with the Nokton 35/1.2... perfectly normal for that lens.
