I have looked at the images from the last couple of days, to see if I can 
detect a difference in sharpness with the Telyt at three apertures, f/4.0, 
f/6.3, and f/8.0.  Admittedly, the subjects change from time to time, so 
that may have an influence.  I will provide links below, in case anyone 
would like to provide an input.

I won't be able to look at the photos until this evening (the LUG gallery
is blocked at my present location) but with subjects such as small birds
there are a lot of variables involved that go into image sharpness.  It may
be that you'll get the best sharpness at medium apertures but there are too
many factors involved to say that it's due to the lens.

i.e.:

monopod steadiness
subject motion
shutter speed
focussing accuracy

combine all these with your existing technique and you may find an optimum
but you might find a better optimum if you can improve one or several of
these factors by refining your technique.  First is get closer so you don't
have to crop.
