But does it look sharp?

Using Gareth's brilliant method of sharpening...taken this morning with a K100 and Helios 58mm mf. Is it sharp or, horror of horrors, too sharp?

Well to my eyes certainly not too sharp. But then that might be DOF playing a part.

I cannot see the halos associated with over-sharpening so it looks good to me. K.

Thanks everyone,

This is great news. I used a High Pass filter with a radius of 5.4 then blended it with the base layer using "Soft Light" at 100% opacity. BUT I imagine it would be necessary to alter either the radius, the blend mode e.g. Hard Light and/or the opacity according to the image.

But you ought to see the original...
