Sharpness is important,to me anyway,in my rural landscapy stuff and flowers.Just hate to see a soft image of an old barn with all that lovely hand crafted wood. On the other hand,if my portraits tend to lean a tad on the soft side,i dont mind that. The horse stuff is either.As long as the head is in focus its sold:-) I',m not sure what i'm trying to say,but i said it anyway.<g> Dave
