Chris,

For got to mention in the first pics I focused on the tree in the distance. In the second series I foucused on the building just below the cylinders in the background and in the third series I focused on the field just below the house.

Regards
Harry.

Hi Harry

They look as sharp as most of the shots I managed with the 40-150mm on my E-510. I think you're reaching the limit of the resolving power of the sensor.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your help and advice, that makes sense I thought about weather it could be something like that but not haveing a great deal of knowedge was not to sure, but i have been under the impression that
when using a small aperture focusing would be sharpe alll the way through to infinity.
Well a least its nothing major to do with my lens or my technic thats a relief.

Thanks again.

Regards
Harry.

P.S. better delete althoughs pics now. LOL.

Sadly, no image is ever going to be pin sharp all the way through. The DoF is slightly larger with the 4/3 sensor as it's slightly smaller but even using the hyperfocal distance, you're only dealing with "acceptably" sharp.

You could try focus stacking. I've not used it myself but there is free software out there that does it.
