"How do I know if I have a sharp one?"
I’m calling for an end to this. If you don’t have something to say
with the photograph all the sharpness of a KH-11 lens system won’t
help.
Photography is not about sharpness. It’s about communication.
It’s time we started looking at just what we want our photographs to
say not if they are sharp.
