I like the shots but I'm curious, why did you need so much sharpening? They are 1/2500 or faster and at fairly low ISO, they should have been pretty sharp to begin with.

Guess I did not think they were sharpened too much. I usually apply +70 sharpening...

Hmm I'm not sure 70 would be too much, I often use the full 150 slider in PS and have no such artifacts. Take a look below at the difference at 100%.

These are both at very low ISO so I don't know why there is such a difference in the image. The A7 is a large sensor camera as well so I would have thought the grain would have been less than a GX8. My original thought was that you didn't actually nail focus and used over-sharpening to fix it as the OOF areas usually don't hold up as well to over-sharpening. I'm not sure why else we would see a GX8 with better IQ than an A7.

You use 150? Wow, I try not to go over 40 or 50 to prevent artifacts and I use like 75 or 80 masking too!! My clarity hardly goes over 12 as well. Photoshop must be a lot better at applying sharpening than lightroom is.

Auto focus is a work of the devil.
