Thank you all very much for your answers! I really appreciate your support and willingness to share your expertise with me.
So I took a tripod today and followed the instructions given her, shot a series of pictures from F2.0 - F 3.5.
Uploaded the RAW-Files again to my Dropbox.
The first shot is shot using live view, the second one the viewfinder.
I'm a little bit disillusioned... I knew that the FA35 2.0 isn't a FA31 1.8 Limited. But from my jugement I'd say it starts to be (really) sharp (at the center) from f3.2 on. (maybe f2.8). As someone has mentioned (interesting point of view) maybe it's not that important to focus on sharpness first and foremost. However, when using a prime I'd expect some kind of sharpness.
You guys seem to struggle as well how to judge it. Some say it's good, others view it as rather lagging behind...
Btw. I'd say that both versions (liveview/viewfinder) look pretty much the same. Would you agree with my conclusion when I say that this indicates that there's no really back or front focus? Rather a soft copy? Have to see whether focus adjustment can make things better.
Well, maybe you'll disagree completely and say that it's sharp.
Pictures are located here again (look for the newer ones)
Dropbox - FA35 2.0
What's your take on the new ones?
Thank you in advance for all your efforts!
P.S. Again, focus on the right eye (objet's left eye)
