Extension · UTL Vintage Glass

US$28.00

Old lenses each have their own personality, and this set brings that character to your digital photos.

A vintage lens does more than darken the corners. Toward the edges of the frame the image gets softer, loses contrast and often shifts in color, depending on the glass and its coatings. Lightroom’s vignette slider only handles the darkening.

Each preset is modeled on a classic lens using published wide-open test results, and rebuilds that full edge behavior with three separate layers: falloff, edge softness and edge tone. A fast 28mm gets heavy, broad falloff with sharp corners, a Soviet 58mm stays bright but soft and hazy at the edges, and an 85mm portrait lens adds a dreamy glow. The falloff also protects your highlights, so skies stay clean instead of turning grey.

Five lens blur presets add vintage bokeh shapes, from smooth circles to five-blade, cat’s eye, soap bubble and ring.

  • 6 lens profiles, from 20mm to 85mm

  • Separate falloff, softness and tone at the frame edges

  • Highlight-safe falloff

  • 5 vintage bokeh shapes using Lightroom’s Lens Blur

  • Works on top of any edit or preset

  • Adjust each layer in the Masks panel
