How sharp is sharp enough? Is "sharp enough" not even an option?

[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 746345, member: 48483"] Is it not ironic that we have this question and likely have several threads about lenses discussing the quality of bokeh? Photography in the age of digital seems to be reaching for extremes in every way. The short answer is it depends on what you are doing. Macro photo, odds are you want more and more sharpness. Portraits, do you need to see every pore in the skin? You are just going to have to remove that in post. Astro-photography, you want sharp because the atmosphere is working against you already. Pet photos, do yo need to count the individual hairs of a sheep-dog's tail? [/QUOTE]
