Mark_Cohran Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 08, 2006 22:14 | #8 I haven't noticed any softness issues with mine at any particular aperture. I'm not much for testing lenses to determine the "sharpest" aperture. I use whatever aperture I need to get the shot. Sharpness is not the best measure of a good photo. Mark
