This far away tree in the viewfinder and in the screen is SHARP and CLEAR and this is the result... so yeah, that's what I don't understand, the when I take the picture it's perfectly sharp, but the result is way off... any ideas what could do this?!

Thanks again!

Thanks to you both... yeah I promise, this is the sharpest :) I don't even think I was all open... maybe more f4, to be sure... I'll try looking with the viewfinder maybe... but I think it's the lens... is this a "repair" thing or it's a "get another one used" thing?

Thanks!

Hi to all! I bought a used Pentax Asahi Spotmatic a few years ago and it came with the Takumar SMC 50 mm 1.4, I just bought a Canon 90D and thought... hey why not try the Taku on it! The image is really beautiful but I'm unable to get the focus right... so I looked on YT and someone said that the Takumar was a "soft" lens... my question is... is it THAT soft?! I'm used to recent Canon lenses and movie making so... maybe it's just that I'm not used to this "softness"... or is there a problem with the lens?

Thank you so much for your help! (and here's my cat...) It's really the sharpest I could do. So problem or normal Taku?!
