Thanks gasman.
What is the point of that though?
I mean, before you take the photo, while you are looking at the ' subject' you want, it is not all blurry all round it, is it.
So why make it so in the end picture?
Another example is, I have never seen a painting with everything blurry around the topic?
Is it made blurry deliberately, or is it just the way it is focused?

Re: Just to put things right
I have a Tamron lens dating back to my SLR Pentax 35mm camera but I never liked it much. I bought it because it was a cheap brand and all I could afford at the time however the results using it weren't that good - too many bits of glass that reduced contrast for a start. The Pentax made lens were far superior.I don't know if Tamron quality has improved any in the interim but perhaps that is the problem.
What would I know? I only use a cheap compact these days. I also notice that even with those the quality suffers when the photo is cut from 4Mb to <100k for uploading and display on this site.

Re: Just to put things right
Barry are you sure you can't see the difference? I can. this is the same picture close up,(edit crop) . it is not the same as enlarging the original photo.
had I used spot metering @ f2.8 instead of matrix metering at f8 or not used landscape but portrait mode it would have been even sharper. However even with the settings ,I admit I should have checked first, I am still pleased with the result
I could never ever get it like this with the old nikon lens.

but if you say that you are happy with it then that's all that counts really, must be me that's wrong (so nothing new there then) .
