Thanks arne. The wind was blowing some, and the fact that cars were passing us 5 feet away probably wasn't help with the camera shake either. I was nervous as all get out. Other than it being soft...which all pmy pictures seem to be, what else do you like/not like?
Eric, you said it...all your pictures seem soft. I don't have any experience with the current Canon's...I have a film Rebel from '98...but I have a hard time thinking it would be the lens. Even the kit lens that came on my d40 was pretty damn sharp. I can see that you like to minimize your dof though, and that could soften your lens up. Try shooting something at your lowest f stop, and then again at about f8-9 and see if they're still soft. Shooting in the daylight with a low f-stop, I'd imagine your shutter speed was fast enough to negate any camera shake.
mostly Nikon gear
Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.
That's what I was thinking n8. This was shot at f/5.0 and a 1/250th shutter speed. I'll give the f8-9 a try next time I go somewhere. I have no idea why they all seem to turn out soft. I saw some of the pictures from the threads that Cara and some of the other Canon users have put for this lens, and their shots seem to turn out crystal clear
