You would find yourself having to be a quite a distance from the subject, probably 20 to 25 feet in most instances.

Feb 11, 2014 09:39 | #14 MalVeauX wrote in post #16680862 Just as a note, a sharper image comes from using the lens properly. Stop down your kit lens to F8~F11, on a tripod. You probably will not be able to see a difference in sharpness compared to a new $400 lens. If you want a very sharp image, but at wide aperture for depth of field purposes, then a new lens will help (specifically, a prime, or wide aperture zoom of which quality, but $400 won't get you that zoom; but it will get you a prime). Very best, If we disregard the zoom. What lense can you suggest for a sharper image.
