Or with your eyes, Don ;-)...while some are soft - the bride was moving a
lot and so were my hands after about 8 hours of shooting...but the seeds on
that strawberry as as sharp as, well, seeds on a strawberry. The bubbles are
sharp in the glasses....Dad's far eye is sharp...as are the groom's
eyes.....

But the lens does have a definite soft glow to it, which is particularly
apparent in the photo of the bride and groom, and the bride....It is not
going to win any prizes for rendering fine detail, or for use as a diamond
cutter, or even a glass cutter for that matter...;-)
