One of these chaps lives in the US and was visiting India. When he got to Delhi, he phoned the other one, who lives in a suburb of Delhi. I was told to expect both at lunch time. They arrived and we had a fine time talking about old days. One brought two excellent dishes which his wife prepares. "Old" means well over half a century: we will have been together in the same class for some years until we finished with high school in 1967. Both with Sony A7 and 35mm and 50mm Nikkors.

I am sure you guys had a good time, but why pictures out of focus?

Nick, let me try to explain why you see what may not be bad focus. The first photo is a quite small crop of what the 35mm lens recorded at f/2 from 10 or 12 feet. The second was taken with a 50mm lens at f/1.4., Narrow depth of field inevitable, more so in the second. Slow shutter speed in both. Possible camera shake. One of my nieces, who teaches surgery in a medical college, says that a fellow only a few months short of 70, and blessed with Parkinson's Disease, has no business messing with cameras. Only her younger daughter, now 12, defends my right to take photos. Edited by mukul_dube
