I have a vintage lens, Astronar 400mm f6.3 "girl watcher" I believe it's from the 50's. It's obviously one hundred percent manual and it is a c mount. I have an adapter to fit it onto my D90.
Problem: it takes extremely soft pictures.
What I have tried: every f stop from 6.3 to 32. Every shot on a tripod.
I have a 75-240 and even cropped the images look sharper than the 400mm.
Is it the lens? Am I supposed to do something with my camera when using a manual lens?
