It's not much effort to test for front and back focus if you download the test chart. I'm glad I did it as even lenses I thought performed well improved and one lens that was pretty much unusable became very good.

As for the suggestion made by Gareth that PP can make a blurred photograph sharp - I'm with George a blurred photograph will always be just that even if you can create an illusion of sharpness.

Mike

I will give this a go, however the shot was manually focused I thought the problem only related to the auto focus is this correct?

Looking at the picture some water droplets seem sharper than the mushroom - is that the case if you look at the original? If so have you tested for back/front focus issues?

I had wondered if this was the case, however I tried the lens on Sanderscapes k20d, the quality appears no different. The one strange anomaly is I can manual focus on an item dead centre and objects to the side can appear more in focus than the subject in the centre.

Gareth I have already applied quite a bit of sharpening using Adobe RAW, when I tried to add more the image started to look illustrated and all the water droplets looked artificial. However if your skills are more adept give it a go.

great news Gareth glad you could make it. I will be travelling down that morning and shooting off about five in the afternoon due to commitments.

I would not advise eating one of these, especially if you have consumed alcohol in the last few days. This can cause heart palpitations vomiting. As for finding a clean one, this was the only mushroom in the middle a field, what interested me was the morning dew. Any more hunting would have involved a great delay in me consuming the bacon sandwich in the café down the road that had just opened for the day

Unfortunately I am cursed by a Sigma 70-300 with macro that was probably made three minuets before the end of shift on a Friday night. Hopefully I may have enough money for a new lens after Christmas that may provide me with sharper images.

This trip will be interesting for me, as I'm totally out of my depth when taking pictures of people. Any tips for hunting down Goths in the wild and managing to take passable images.
