Thanks for the comments. It is the right hand side, and so the bluebell wood - the flowers to right of foreground tree are mushy, from front to back whereas they are sharp in the rest of the frame (and that is stopped down to f8 ). And yes Nigel, that rhs on boat image is awful.
I have printed the bluebell wood at A4 and it shows up easily!
Peter; I have done the wall test and it shows up badly at wider angle settings on the rhs of frame.
I am in a quandary as for some focal lengths and so on this lens shows some great sharpness etc. The trouble is this is the 4th copy I have had, all exhibiting the same fault (some worse than this) and understandably SRS are getting a bit fed up with having to arrange collection and replacement.

Am I being pedantic and expecting too much from this lens?
A couple of piccies;
1.
52mm @ f8 -
2.
16mm f4 - focal point was toward the nearest part of the boat
The issue is to do with sharpness across the frame. Any comments appreciated !
edit; not sure how well things show up!

Great work Nigel - I love the amount of detail in no 2 - fantastic!

A nice set David. Looks like you have a gem there!

A great set. No 10 is my favourite, although I like the randomness/ softness of no 5 and also no. 2 with its little sparkle/ spalsh of water on lhs.

That's right - and same with colour (ie white) balance so it was all pulled back to 18% grey level or whatever!pschlute wrote:

Hello Mr Processor, I would like the first six negatives pushed two stops, and rest pulled one stop please. Did many people use the TAv or Sv modes on their film SLRs ...?
As to TAv and Sv, mine were either fully manual or aperture only. The term Av came in later!

A couple of 'wow' shots!

As above - interesting comparison. A blend of the two might be interesting to try! I prefer the first one overall, perhaps with a bit more 'bite'/ contrast.

Impressive set of images - nice variety too.

Perhaps you should let them have the camera too and they can check a brick wall out back for themselves.
