I consider the 90/2 AA one of the best lenses I own.  Yet, I used it last
week to photograph a friend, and many of the pictures are out of focus or
just plain blurry.  Not one of my better efforts.  For some of them I could
have used a coke bottle bottom for essentially the same outcome.  Nothing
to do with the lens, of course.  Everything to do with me.
