When I started this thread a few days ago, comparing old digital gear to new, specifically mentioning focus, or sharpness, I never expected some of the responses. Some of the specific comments bordered on arrogance, a couple were ignorant, self-righteous bullying predictably leaning on the crutch of fighting political correctness. But, thank God, most were congenial and informative. However, to the several who took it upon themselves to point out the obvious, that there's more to taking a picture than achieving sharp focus, I can only ask: what'd you think? I spend my time shooting test patterns? And there's one more point I'd like to make: with few notable exceptions, members of UHH really have no idea of the background/bona fides/credibility of most of us who contribute to this blog. We might keep that in mind when we offer our own very special comment or advice.
Thanks to all, actually most.
