Post-Processed Versions

Even the down-sampled versions of the originals are somewhat soft and the contrast is low, especially when a lens hood isn't used, the lens has a distinct signature, which maybe is what is specifically desired. However, if desired, the photos can be post-processed in order to increase local contrast.
