I have the 58 f/1.4g..I agree..it\'s not sharp..especially on eyes, at 1/4. I see some improvement at 1/6, and f/2 and f/2.8..are very sharp.
So what am I missing here? It\'s not a good lens because..it\'s not razor sharp at f/1.4? How many times does one shoot portraits at f/1.4? Is f.2,8, particularly for a head/shoulders shot..not adequate for blurred background?
What 50mm lens isn\'t sharp at f/2.8? You pay big bucks for sharpness wide open. Otherwise it\'s money wasted.
The images in this thread are astonishing. How could Nikon release this lens so soft?
You said it yourself, images in this thread are astonishing so how is it money wasted?
