I suspect that you might have run into the "diffraction factor". It's been reported that after going to f-stops smaller than f-16, some cameras show signs of diffraction making the subject softer than with an, let's say f-8 aperture. I think this is why the out of focusness (allow me to invent this word) seems to be the same for both shots. Where you using a tripod? And even with a tripod, sometimes one has to use the "mirror up" mode in order to remove the mirror slap vibration out of the equation.Don't worry too much, sharpness is only one element of a great picture. Just take more and enjoy photography, not pixel peeping on the computer.</blockquote>
