Tamron 18-200 used on alpha-100
At what aperture is it at its sharpest results for landscapes and portraits?!

I've tried today a few shoots in a local park and indeed f9 anf f10 are very sharp on this lens.... f10 especially in direct sun light spots...and f9 in sun/shadow.....All the pictures were made without the internal noise reduction of the alpha-100.....I've tried also f8 and f11 with not such good results but the f8 i've notice that tends to become sharper in shadow spots....David Kilpatrick wrote:Don't go to f/16 - f/8, f/9 to f/11 is best. If you use f/16 or less, you get diffraction loss of sharpness. I often use Aperture priority exposure set at f/7.1 or f/8 or f/9, f/10, f/11. These apertures yield the sharpest results with most lenses including the 18-200mm.
