I am all for sharp images & above all top quality. Why else would I use the gear I do, obviously I want the best results possible & equipment is part of that process.
What I don't agree with is the over obsessing with sharpness.... in focus , what ever. Or for that matter dust on the sensor. To me these are minor deficiencies easily overcome.
Cartier Bresson was reputed to have questioned the modern day obsession with tack sharp images.
When a woman is looking back at pictures of her (deceased father/mother) taken 50 years before, sharpness is going to be the last thing that would occur to her.
Cheers,
Paul
