[Leica] Haslam's Book Store

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

Well, I purposely shot at f/2 for shallow DoF, so I have no quibble with the focus anywhere but on the man’s glasses. These do not look nearly sharp enough to me. Experimentation with the tape measure follows when we arrive home.

You have a very capable camera and lens combination, but, for that type of setting, you need to take advantage of the necessary depth of field.  Increase the ISO to 1250 or even 2500, and stop down to f/5.6 or f/8, and let the MM do its thing.  You will be amazed what detail you can see.
