Also when photographing light subjects it’s best to drop exp comp into the minus region to guarantee holding onto highlight detail. But as a general rule Nikons don’t need anything more than +/- 0.3 to protect detail. The Fuji gives me a warning not to mess with IT’S choice.

I said earlier that I felt cheated by Nikon as it was billed as performing just as well beyond macro. It didnt …….unlike my 60mm macro that worked perfectly beyond macro. Enjoy the Emerald Isle.

I have put these on the Splash list to enable you to see the EXIF data. The first one is f6.3 1/100 and the second is f5.6 1/125. They are both ISO 100 Click here to comment on this image. 1 Click here to comment on this image. Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image.

Exposure looks there or thereabouts on both those, Bob Can I suggest you take a series of increasingly closer shots of the bird feeder. This time try 200iso @ f5.6 ……focus on the feeder and take shots at (say) 1foot, 3foot, 20feet away. It should give you a better assessment of the sharpness of the lens over distance

Sharp image in the first of the set but the rest look soft. Do you have a brick wall that you can use as a test image against as that will show if the lens has an element that is off as it should be sharp across the whole frame. You need to make sure you are shooting at 90 degrees to the wall!
