Photographing water skiers, wide open, at varying distances from 30yds - 100yds, the far side of the lake comes up with a different degree of out-of-focus rendering at the outside of the frame than the center - very unpleasant effect. It also appears that the skiers at the outside of the frame are not as sharp as those near the center - even though they seem to be parallel to the film plane. I've never noticed this effect in other subjects that I've photographed with this lens (usually centered subjects and much closer). Is this normal for this lens wide open at longer focusing distances? George - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
