3) you've got a problem with the focus and/or the lens


I wonder about lenses. I haven't attempted to evaluate any of them in this 
connection -- and how would I know, in any given instance, that the problem was 
with the lens? -- but I've tried to pick lenses that have a reputation for 
producing sharp images and avoiding those that do not. My collection: A 28/2.8, 
M 50/1.7, A 50/2.0, M 100/4.0 macro, 2 M 135/3.5s, and one A 70-210/4.0.

well, it could be the lens, but if the image appears very sharp in the viewfinder, but comes out blurry, your camera may be back- or front-focusing (viewfinder not properly coordinated with the actual focus on the sensor); some simple tests on a tripod can confirm that (the classic is to prop up a yardstick at 45 degrees and focus on the 18" mark)
