[QUOTE="Peekcha, post: 32750, member: 7246"] I have a vintage lens, Astronar 400mm f6.3 "girl watcher" I believe it's from the 50's. It's obviously one hundred percent manual and it is a c mount. I have an adapter to fit it onto my D90. Problem: it takes extremely soft pictures. What I have tried: every f stop from 6.3 to 32. Every shot on a tripod. I have a 75-240 and even cropped the images look sharper than the 400mm. Is it the lens? Am I supposed to do something with my camera when using a manual lens? [/QUOTE]
