[QUOTE="ZekeMenuar, post: 48568, member: 8718"] If the OP has tried this already, I apologize. I'm sitting here with my D3100 in front of me. For the record I use the 18-55mmVR, 55-200mm VR and the 55-300VR. Sharpness is not an issue with these lenses. Go into the menu>Set Picture Control Once there you have several options for Picture Control, Standard, Neutral, Vivid etc. I'll use "Standard" for purposes of this post. Get into the Standard menu and you'll see several settings Quick Adjust "Sharpening" Contrast and a few others. You can manipulate sharpness in this part of the menu. Turn it up a a couple of notches and see if that helps. You can also force the camera to use a lower ISO setting in the Auto ISO menu. Normally I set the "ISO Sensitivity" to 100 and I set the Auto ISO range from 100-400. If it's bright outside I turn the Auto ISO off. The lower the ISO the better/sharper images you'll have. FWIW, your pictures look great to me. I might have tried a few shots with a lower shutter speed or an ND filter, but those look fine to me. [/QUOTE]
