Davison used to tell us on the LUG way way back about the dangers of over sharpening and sharpening to size at the very end but I don't feel like I can see the image at all without a little sharpening so I do what Tina does; I sharpen at least a little bit right off. I don't think I can even see if the image at the back of my cameras are sharp unless I have sharpening built in and not a small amount. So I do that. But I think its RAW so there's no harm done.
