Re: Mine is not soft at 100mm f/2.8.

"And by the way (please don't be offended by this) what on earth is the point in trying to demonstrate sharpness by uploading a 1 megapixel 180k jpeg?

I could have taken that with an iPhone 2."

Well, because (and don't be offended by this) if an image looks sharp on my computer at 1MP @ 180kb it sure as heck isn't going to get fuzzy and soft if I include the original missing 8 MP to the image.

The prevailing notion that web sized images do not reflect the actual sharpness of an image just because pixels have been eliminated is absurd.

But just to prove my point, here is the 100% crop from the original file (and since this is a section of a roughly 50 in. X 40 in. image, why not back off a couple inches from your computer screen to view it.)

And no, you could not have taking this with your iPhone.
