Is this the same lens that B&H is selling for $599? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&O=&Q=&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C%7Bcreative%7D%2C%7Bkeyword%7D&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyNjRBRCpARIsAPDBnn0gyIPhswiMM3Q59tj2GmmG99CR08IspJW9Vj-1lpqSaqEyyJf88I0aAqBeEALw_wcB&is=USA&m=Y&sku=183198

Question about halo(?)

Using the download and looking at it at 1:1 in a good monitor I do not see any halo nor do I see any compression artifact.

Since the original is SOOC do not suspect this as a problem.

Now... Suspect your eyes. When we look at something with a high contrast or long enough we ALL will see a halo.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am using an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch monitor so I doubt that would be problematic. The problem is exacerbated when I use Nik plug-ins so that would lead me to believe that it is software related.

It is possible that there was in-camera sharpening but this is no longer an issue. Thanks for the PP suggestion.

Question about halo(?)

Neil, you may be right about the settings. At the time I was shooting jpeg but have since changed to raw. Unfortunately, all I have to go by now is the exif data.

Thank for looking. I find that it is more noticeable against the darker mountain on the lower section.

Question about halo(?)

I was working on this photo in Affinity and noticed a halo (probably not the correct terminology) along the vertical cable. This shot is SOOC. I would like to know what caused this. Any help is appreciated.
