As I look at results from real-life shooting, this impression is only strengthened. I just looked at some portraits I shot of my 5-year old daughter. Other than those affected by operator error (I shot them handheld, and obviously a 5-year old does not sit perfectly still either), the sharpness and detail is amazing--perhaps even too much so for a close-up portrait. You can see every blemish on her skin. Using Kodak's E100VS which is sharp and has strange color casts did not help. But the optical quality is fantastic. DO NOT USE THIS LENS TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WIFE OR MOTHER-IN-LAW!
