Hi Niels,

The pale, overexposed look could be down to poor white balance=20
correction. Poor focus - not necessarily the lens. Manual focus is=20
only as good as the person shooting and auto focus modes operate in so=20=

many different ways that it could just as easily be a problem there. =20
True - the purist would say that using a non-prime, third party lens is=20=

going to give you inferior shots but if used in the middle of the focal=20=

length and aperture ranges will give you results that most people would=20=

find perfectly suitable. What are the shots of? What will they be=20
used for (print, web, posters etc?)

Cheers

Jez
