wait for NX la.

slight sharpening in both cammie and PS. depending on subject matter, sometimes there is no need for sharpening during post processing.

i shoot in JPEGs with an S2Pro.

the AFS17-35 f2.8 is a gem of a lens. :thumbsup:

Since I got the lens last weekend, I shot a few hundreds. I deleted 75% of them after initial viewing. For the remaining 100, I need to sharpen up quite a few (using NC). Mostly because I used wrong aperture settings :cry: Others can be used as they are

P.S.> I view them using a 20" LCD. Probably that shows too much detail. Still learning digital.

wats the price u paid for ?

if u bought a used lens
and it isn't giving u sharp images, it may be time to visit nsc and get the lens calibrated and serviced.

Usually sharpening is set to normal. If you don't sharpen it, usually it will be slightly blur after the algorithm to demosaic (de-Bayer algorithm). So when you set the camera to no sharpening, you will need to sharpen it with a software.

Same thing after you resize the picture, because of the sampling algorithm will introduce some blurring, usually I will apply some sharpening to the image.
