That looks considerably softer than mine, is that the center portion of the pic? Also how do you post a center crop?
Yes, it is the center portion of the pic. I focused on the tree or on that children's playground thingie, can't remember which for this picture. And no other part is considerably sharper, so this is not a focus-works-bad issue. Otherwise, some object nearer the lens or farther away would be sharper, yes?
That tree is some 40 meters (120 feet) away. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd suggest you take a picture of some subject as far away as that - you might get even softer images. Preferrably so that there are other subjects farther and nearer - this way you can see if it really is about the focusing not working well or if it is about this "far-sightedness" issue - if something else is better in focus, then it's a focus issue. If everything is at least as soft as the subject you focused on, then it is an optical problem. I'm not an expert on how to test whether a lens has a specific flaw, so correct me if that logic is flawed.
You get a center crop by cropping the center of the image ;). That is, just select a small part of the image in photoshop/GIMP/whatever, Ctrl-C, paste as new, save, upload to webserver and link here. That's what I did, anyhow.
