Thanks for comments, Tim! Those "blocks" are curious. A loosy jpg, but still not opened enough to have started showimg artifacts..I don't think. Original is a large scan showing good detail. Teton peak was what I focused on and with that lens set up, I found I couldn't just set it on infinity and expect it to be the optimum focus. I've read, and believe, that in the case of this elk of lens, temperature can cause a variation in the focus. I've set the pre-focus stop at times, but never leave it for very long without checking.
