Many of the pictures posted are simply out of focus or are focused somewhere other than the subject.

If you want to say that, you need to substantiate you statement, Ollie.

Apart from the new user experiencing the very shallow depth of field of the f1.8 45 wide open, I don't see a problem for these obviously hand-held pix. Focus, move your camera a fraction closer or away before you shoot, and you shift the sharpest plane.

Sometimes it matters, sometimes it does not.

Maybe I am more tolerant of this than I perhaps should be because I do it myself.

Cheers, geoff
