If you shot the landscapes at f/3.5 and they are in focus when greatly
enlarged, then I would suspect the camera.  I pass up any non-telephoto lens
that doesn't focus at infinity.  Something is out of wack.  Unless this lens
is way under the $47 to $71US range that these sell for in the US, you don't
have a bargain.
