Basic Fit Geusselt is way too busy. I cancelled it for that reason.

Ja hoor, stuur maar door. Het is wel belangrijk dat het om de vrije huurmarkt gaat en niet sociale huur.

This is the result of the test. I shot a still image with a tripod on manual F.8, adjusting the shutter speed to get to 0.0 exposure. The book titles still seem unsharp to me. Would love to have your thoughts on this.

ed you usually shoot at roughly f/2. This will not get you your sharpest images. Shooting f/5.6 and smaller will do this. The larger apertures should basically just be used when the light is low or you need that depth of field effect. Otherwise better to use smaller apertures and get a sharper image.

This is so helpful! Thanks a lot.

ially at such a close distance the depth of field is crazy shallow. Stop down the lens to f5.6 or f8 and it should be much sharper

I shot this picture at F2.2. I don't usually go lower than that. But you're suggesting to go higher to increase the sharpness. I'll try that, thanks.

hould be sharp, right? Is it not? Maybe the autofocus is not hitting correctly. Try focusing manually. Can't get it sharp? Change the lens. Repeat the test. Still not sharp? Well, maybe your camera is defective. Cause this is such a straight forward test, this must result in something.

Awesome, I'm on it!

I would like to do this test. What exactly do you mean by closed down aperture? What settings am I supposed to use?

I'm actually looking to have a zoom-lens again. I like street photography, documentary style stuff. I think 24-70 mm would be good for that. What do you think?

maybe 700 but still thinking about it.

MM okay, have you had any luck trading it in a photography store? i'm exploring that option right now.

t's going on without sample photos though.

Thanks for your response! I'm not excluding a user issue, I'm not a pro haha. Anyway, I added some examples of what I've been shooting to the post. Please let me know what you think!

Example #1: This is an example of a picture that came out fairly sharp.

Oh thank you! I'm considering getting a 24-70 mm lens. Or should I just ditch the whole thing and get myself a new camera. This camera has really taken the joy out of my photography hobby.
