It appears to me to be more of a scanner problem. I've run into a similar
problem when using a flatbed (microtek) and trying to scan a neg. Something
about the focus of a flatbed is what I found out. Now it may just be my
monitor but the eye appeared fuzzy also as did the branch which is in about
the same plane.

Hi!
This is a study in D-O-F, or the lack thereof. The shot was taken with the 400mm f6.8 Telyt, wide open, at about -24C; and this little lady had all her feathers puffed out for heat retention!
The eye is absolutely tack sharp in the print, but the feathers are completely out of focus.

Techie stuff: R8 w/400/f6.8 Telyt & shoulder stock. Hand held - about 1/125th second. Kodak HD-400 negative film. Scanned on a cheap Canon flatbed, as my faithful HP-PhotoSmart neg scanner has finally given up. :( Cropped from a horizontal shot... about 1/2 the original frame.
Comments and criticisms appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
