If you drop the 50mm lens on to your driveway about a dozen times from about five feet up, that sharpness problem will go away. ;) Were you shooting flash? On camera flash combined with a sharp lens can make people look their very worst. If your flash has bounce capabilities, I'd suggest maybe bouncing off of the ceiling (if the ceiling is low enough) or diffusing the flash in some way. I'd suggest trying this before going to an expensive softening filter, because you'll end up with an image that is still very sharp, but far more flattering to the subject. Good luck. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
