Closing down one or two stops ALWAYS increases sharpness.Second, if you started with a raw file, you must apply a little or more sharpening to the files. Raw files don't look sharp to start with, but the information is all there to make them sharp with the help of post processing (pp). So in this case, I'd start with giving the files a little more sharpening, and, for the future, when you want maximum sharpness, close your lens a stop or two when you take the photos. With the D700, don't be afraid of using 200 to 400 iso, the grain or noise just won't be there at that speed.Good luck.</blockquote>
