[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 644689, member: 40735"] Thanks for the images - a couple of thoughts come to mind: - The images all look fine on my phone screen, but a bit soft on my monitor (could be the matte screen). I noticed the majority were on the D80, which might explain why they may not hold up well to pixel-peeping compared to images from newer, higher res sensors. However, when viewed on a monitor or a print from a reasonable distance (for the size of the monitor or said print), they should mostly hold up OK. - Also noticed that the majority of the shots were at wide focal lengths. Some time ago, I posted here about my struggles with manual focusing with wideangles, and was schooled on the concept of hyperfocal distance, which was very helpful in addressing the issue.
