Hi, I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
I have just bought the Tamron AF24-70 to replace my 50mm. I took some photos in the weekend and have been very disappointed at how the sharpness has been real hit and miss. Possibly I don't know how to use it very well yet.
What f stop would you use for a family photo?
I did a family shot and when zoomed in it is very soft. (other shots were very sharp but it was just one subject).
I selected my focal point (usually the eyes of someone in the front).
My settings were 1/160th sec, f4.0, ISO 160, zoomed at 46mm
With my 50mm I always set it to f4 for a family shot so have I wrongly assumed it would work for this lens too?
My question is does that f stop sound right for this lens?
What would you use?
Thanks
Tara
