I took quite a few head and sholder shots with it and to say sharp, is = decidedly an understatement. One should limit it to the very young with perfect complections or the = very old where the raveges of time are wanted...otherwise that thing is = brutal....technically it is more than I dreamed, sharpness, contrast, = color rendition etc etc. but it really will give cause to think before = taking many close shots (at least of people you have to live with ) = Next time you guys say sharp, I'll believe it.
