    Re: ID a rear lens element?

    At first glance, it appears to be the rear element of a 12" f/4.5 Gundlach Radar.

    I had some Kodak Brown Toner affect the glossy surface of Kodak Polycontrast III RC prints, leaving an etched swirly-haze look to the surface. It was not there before the toning step.
