maybe i missed it too..hehe. It doesnt *quite* seem to focus just right.
It seems a little "soft." I really have no idea what this means about the
lens, except it doesnt take sharp pictures. They're no scratches, etc. on
the lens i dont think. I cleaned them recently and just cant quite seem to
figure it out..open to suggestions..
