Or a decent shot with an imperfect lens. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7147418
Two things here. First: I'm training Grace to be a placekicker in the NFL. Note the perfect form. Hand out for balance. Head down. She's a natural. Second: Shot this with the obviously defective DA* 16-50/2.8 . Looks okay, doesn't it? And most shots will. Real world shooting doesn't always reveal defects. But someday when shooting a nearly flat scene wide open, one side of the shot will be a bit soft. The lens costs far too much to tolerate that kind of performance. Sometimes it's good to test. But only rarely:-).
