[QUOTE="aroy, post: 322915, member: 16090"] For sharp images you need : 1. Good technique. This means that either your hands do not shake, else you use a heavy tripod at relatively high shooting speed. At times using inbuilt flash "strobes' light ad you get very sharp images. 2. Sharp lenses. Most lenses are quite sharp at their sweet point, very few wide open. So find out at what F stop your lense is sharpest. 3. Low chromatic aberration. CA reduces edge sharpness, hence search for lenses with low or practically non existing CA. The kit 18-55 lense with D3300 is reasonably sharp. It compares quite a bit with the 50mm f1.8 and 35mm f1.8 primes. Apart from sharpness, what matters most is the micro contrast and accutance (edge sharpness). Most of the lower cost lenses are lacking in these. If you want super sharp lense then check the Zeiss APO 135mm F2 lense. You cannot get better than that. Here are two shots with the kit lense. That is as sharp as I could get. [ATTACH=CONFIG]97064._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]97065._xfImport[/ATTACH] These are full frame shots [/QUOTE]
