[Leica] ***SPAM*** Re: Tina's softness/sharpness/focus issue - might be solved, in part

[Tina Manley]

Uncertainties is certainly a negative description.  When I am shooting, I
have several different purposes in mind for the photos.  I have to find
some way to use the photos to earn enough money to pay for the equipment,
the trips, the promotions, and the time I spend on photography which is not
a hobby for me.  I think the other photographers who actually make a living
with their photography take at least as many photos as I do and sometimes
many, many more.
