Interesting lens Warren, is the over-exsposure in the upper right a product of the lens design or just he late afternoon sun? Don't recall the sun in that angle, but it has been a few years since I worked in the Park. I like the overall glow the lens captures on the foliage.

Dan, I like your new Google avatar. I remember that it's from your self-portrait project.
The I-26M is a low contrast, low resolution, flare-prone antique. So the over-exposure that you asked about is a combination of lens characteristic (flare), and late afternoon light. It was overcast that day, but the sky was bright, and the subject was in the shade.
It does have a bit of a glow though. :)
I experimented with using different B&W tone curves on it, and in the end I settled on Tri-X emulation in SEP2 with the contrast lowered a bit from the default setting.
