Before blaming the lens alone, put the camera on a tripod and check the
results. Remember your gfs 'shakey hands'. Well, people do much worse
things when taking pics when they don't know any better. Watch people
with one-use and P&S cameras. Notice any who jerk the camera down when
they push the release? I have, and have retrained some on how to
minimize camera movement. How about those grab shots where the subject
isn't moving, but the camera is? I had a sister-in-law who went all over
Europe taking pictures with an instamatic. At it's best, the camera
could only make mildly unfuzzy 3x5s, but the majority of her shots were
so blurred that the subjects were unrecognizable. It's actually harder
for most people to hold a small light camera steady. I'm not saying the
lens is any good, just that the evidence presented is not sufficient to
come to that conclusion that it isn't. I suspect AF is also a factor in
some poorly focused pics with P&S cameras.

Sorry, slightly OT, but I was wondering, does anybody know the
resolving limit on plastic lenses?
One of my students went on a trip and just got back; well, the
pictures were horrible; taken with a P&S camera that had a plastic lens..
She said she was frustrated after seeing my pics as far as clarity and
resolution. I'm just curious if anybody knows just how big of a
difference glass vs. plastics is.
