[QUOTE="gohan2091, post: 112997, member: 11990"] Triedntru, I am aware at those apertures that there is a shallow depth of field. When doing groups of 4, I used f5.6. With pairs, I did use f2.0 and 2.2 a few times which came out great as they were on the same focal plane. However, in some photo , even many single portrait shots, everything was soft like out of focus. I don't think it was back or front focusing as some photos came out good with the same setup. Also when I inspect the photos, there isn't any area that is sharper than my focus point (the eye). It's all pretty soft. Should I post some examples? Perhaps the subjects sometimes moved their while taking those shots. But at 1/200 I should think they should be frozen still. Perhaps my distance of 10 feet with a 50mm also meant that the face will never be that sharp. [/QUOTE]
