Re: Lack of sharpness at f1.8 on Canon 50mm STM

What exactly are you trying to shoot at f/1.8? Is there some particular reason? If you are trying to do portraiture, you may be able to catch focus on the eyes but the tip of the nose and a lot of the head will fall out of focus. I'm thinking that you are not clear on the relationship between aperture and depth of field.
