<p>Hi,<br>
<br />I'm new to this forum and this is my first question. Any help would be appreciated. I own a d3000 and 18-55 VR. A few images are coming very soft from this set up even when lens is at f/8. I decided to compare the same camera with nikon 35mm 1.8G. Images from 35 are way sharper, with lots of texture detail. For comparison I've attached two images: one taken with 18-55 at 35mm, and another taken with 35mm 1.8 g. Both images are f8, 1/40, ISO 100<br>
dsc_4203 35mm 1.8g<br>
dsc_4204 18-55mm at 35mm<br>
Sometimes images are ok, sometimes soft. It has been very difficult to me to narrow down what the problem is.<br /> What is the problem with the 18-55?<img src="
