I've recently been trying to join a stock photography agency. I had some great images I thought they'd love. They looked really sharp on my monitor. But bam... The agency came back and said sorry not sharp enough, out of focus. I couldn't believe it. I'd used L glass and IS but they were hand held. OK so they look sharp and would probably print sharp at A4-A3 size but if you look at them at 100% pixel size you can actually see that they're not that sharp at all. I was disapointed but it did bring home a good point. If you can use a tripod / monopod / string attached to shoe (very cheap) then do it. Don't always rely on IS for commercial work. Hope that helps a little. Michael. ---------------------------------------------------- Peter Kotsinadelis wrote: What did you send them to review? Scanned files? JPEGs?
