Tamron sample pics - dodgy lens??
Discussion
I've had my Tamron 28-75 for quite a while now but recently I've not been totally happy with the images it's been producing. I sent it off a couple of weeks ago to Intro2020 to be looked at and they changed a few bit on it but I'm still not sure it's spot on.
Below are a couple of samples with 100% crop of each one. What do people think? Are they a bit soft?
f4.5 1/1250
f4.5 1/1000

It depends...
I've got a Canon 1D mark II N yet I need to apply unsharp mask to every shot it produces. Why? Because I have the in-camera sharpening turned off so no sharpening artifacts are introduced, the Photoshop software is much more sophisticated so it gets the task. I think the second shot proves the lens is sharp.
I'd guess, but could be very wrong, that those shots would look fine after a trip to PS.

I dont understand this idea of using a program to sharpen an image. Surely the sharpest truest image is one where the lens has good properties and the image capture device in teh camera records that faithfully .. can you get any better than that?
Using a program to sharpen an image after the event sounds like using a graphic equaliser to change the sound of a flawed sound system to me.
The pics in question look very very soft and that can't be right can it?

images that digital cameras produce lack sharpness and contrast due to the technology. it can't be helped
