Originally posted by Sailor I don't about the M50/2, but both my M and FA 50/1.4 are pretty soft until f/2.8 or so. Are you sure the shot is absolutely in focus? The stitching around the sweatshirt's neck line looks relatively crisp, but your son's face, handsome devil though he is, makes me want to squint. Note, however, I've got 62-year-old eyes, so my "sensors" aren't the best.

I know when I was focusing (manually), the camera told me it was focused, and the light in their eyes were very sharp. I'm thinking that the lens may be soft at f2, and having such a shallow DOF may exaggerate the softness. I'm hoping to try again tomorrow, but was hoping someone with same lens would confirm my suspicion.
