Here are the exposures:
D50 2 was f/8, 1/250. The others were f/7.1, 1/200. Auto exposure, zero compensation, pattern metering. I see the same sharpness problem on all photos. I wonder if the auto-focus might be a problem. These were hand-held.
I can see that.
The branches in the background look sharper than the birdhouse.
AF does fail when it gets confused and if you are using multiple focus points it can focus on the unintended object.
