No Mac, No Cheese - Episode 46: Optimal Sharpness
Posted in no mac no cheese digital photography optimal lens sharpness aperture depth of field stopping down
Ever wonder why your images aren't quite as sharp as you'd like?
Most lenses perform their best when stopped down 1-2 stops.
f1.8 lens: best at 2.8-4.0
f2.8 lens: best at 4.0-5.6
f5.6 lens: best at 8.0-11.0
You'll increase your depth of field, and improve the overall sharpness of your images!
Enjoy!
