Winter again.

May the light be with you. Wish you all the best light the whole year around.

Hi, I found some time to retest the lens and the camera. This time i tried the ACR and the Nikon Capture NX-D. No such effect as in my original post. So I conclude it was some condensation effect reinforced by the applied Lens correction profile. I'm happy the problem is gone. "I think it may be the effect of the software filter". I was referring to the ACR option > lens corrections > Enable Lens Profile Corrections which in my oppinion has similar function as Photoshop > Filter > Lens correction > Auto correction. So in Photoshop it is a 'software filter'. Regards, Miha.

Hi, there was no filter on the lens. The view through the viewfinder is OK. Lens seems ok, I just see some minor dust particles. I got hold on a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, i got similar results, but not so pronounced. Other lenses did not produce this effect. I think it may be the effect of the software filter. I will clean the sensor. Thanks.

Hi, all A few days ago, I was photographing in the fog with my D750 and 70-200 f/2.8 VR (generation 1, about 15 years old). I shot raw. When I processed the photos, I noticed some weird 'artefacts' as you can see in the pictures. The vignetting in the corners is no surprise, but the black circle in the central part sure is. First photo was only opened and processed in ACR (Auto setting); the second photo was also processed by Nik (tone mapping) to exaggerate the effect. The third one was processed in ACR, lens profile used and then tone mapping applied. Can please someone explain the reason for the black circle? Settings: D750, Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VR (generation 1) at f/4, ISO 125. PS: It also seems to me the lens is stronger vignetting in the bottom two corners. Thanks for your help, Miha.

@ alok_k: Download for the NIK collection here: Homepage - Nik Collection by DxO Then just choose the profile (preset) to your liking. In Nikon Capture NX-D ver.1.3.0 you click the tone adjustment icon and proceed as you like. You can always revert the photo to the original state.

Second try - correction made with NIK software (Free). It's a bit too strong for my taste - you can edit the picture to your likeness. This sample is just to show what can be made with a DSLR photo. I'm sure a lot of other posters will do better - but this correction took only a few seconds.

Quick adjustment of tone and curves in Nikon Capture NX-D ver.1.3.0. (I got the program with the camera, a new version may exist). Sorry, can't upload the file ;-(

The last one.

One more.
