[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 556224, member: 15556"] Shooting a group @ f/2.8 and expecting individual faces to be sharp in crop is unrealistic. Try stopping down to at least f/5.6 and see if things get sharper. Maybe you need a little faster shutter speed. Are you shooting RAW? What do you do with the cropped head shots that they need to be sharp? IMHO, if you want a portrait, shoot a portrait, if you want a group shot, shoot a group shot. Cropping is going to degrade the IQ and the more extreme the crop, the more degradation you get. You could get D810 and have lots of megapixels for cropping, but that's big $$$. [/QUOTE]
