Re: Lens for shooting outdoor acrobatics ?

I mostly do stills so the 20mm is definitely out of the picture. I am still considering the 25mm but sadly I haven't heard only the best things about it.

Thanks a lot for your help, I will keep looking around second-hand lenses and read the reviews before jumping on anything.

If I might ask one more thing:

Do you think this is a lens problem or rather a settings/technique problem? Because I feel like my close-up shots are very sharp around the subject if I shoot flowers or bugs but nowhere as sharp when shootings persons from farther away.
