i am using FocusFixer on some film camera images taken with my Sigma 15-30 and FA24-90. both are a little softer than i would like. when used gently, the FocusFixer filter improves things a lot, about the same as turning off Digital ICE and then applying a slight sharpen in Photoshop, but without the hassle of dealing with the dust. yes, i have noticed the loss of sharpness in Digital ICE, but it's worth the time saved. with FocusFixer used as a light sharpen on the images, it's getting the benefits of Digital ICE without the sharpness penalty.
