[QUOTE="hugtheslug, post: 1577854, member: 48841"] Embarrassed really, Nick, because after I'd taken a few I realised that I had left the camera on manual from when I cleaned the CCD. Looking at it again I can see what you mean about the focus. It was set at 1/350 F5.6, testing out a newly bought Nikkor 28-80mm which was very well reviewed by Ken Rockwell. I'm surprised by the sharpness of it over the old 35-70mm I was using previously. As I'm still trying to get to grips with real photography (I mean other than pointing my Lumix compact at things and pressing the button), I normally start on auto and then play with aperture or speed priority. I bought a FujiFilm S2 Pro a couple of months ago to see how I got on and I can tell already the difference in quality over the Lumix. Cheers :) Hugh [/QUOTE]
