I have a K-m (K2000) that seems to fulfill my needs for right now. It has the basic SMC DAL18-55 f3.5-5.6 lens.
I am not particularly thrilled with the softness of the focus(?) when viewing the pic in 100% size. Makes no difference whether in JPEG or PEF or DNG mode. The area that I feel should be sharp focus at Infinity is not quite there. I'm talking about at a distance of 100 feet or more. The amount of "softness) I see is similar in both Autofocus or Manual mode.
Any words of wisdom on how I might determine whether the camera is simply not able to take a razor sharp picture or is the focusing overshooting the infinity mark?
I shoot mostly at 100 ISO.
The camera doesn't have "Live View" so all I have is the crappy viewfinder which does nothing to aid in focusing. Maybe I need a different focusing screen.
Thanks for your comments.
Regards
Bernd
