I use too sharpen to 100 in Phase One LE (RAW converter). Then perhaps some more, if necassary in PS CS. PErhaps RAW files aren't submited to the on board sharpening in the camera, I don't know, but others may be able to answer this. I use low on board sharpening an contrast in the camera in order to preserve as much data as possible form the original recording. Regards

I think my main concern was, had the camera or lens gone out of alignment. I really don't think so. I compared meter to my daughters D, after the drop and it was the same on both cameras. I have not moved the diopter and things seem to look focused in the finder. I do seem to notice it more in doors under light bulb light, using flash. Some times it looks focused and sometimes just off a hair. I think i'm just being parinoid but maybe not. As far as my sharpen routine,on Jpeg any way, its 60-100%,0.3 pixel, 0 threshold.In raw i have left the sharpening at the 25% default when saving. Maybe i'm not applying enough.Maybe i'll send in the camera and lens to have them look at it.I'd like to find out if its me or the equipment before GFM.(although i'm going to bring the Nikons,but thats not the point) Argggg. To many choices in life.LOL Dave
