Hi Eric,
of course, you are correct, there are times, in fact, that sharpness is
not even desired. I was, in fact, speaking in the context of the 'thread',
which I understood to be about sharpness 'with and without' a tripod.
Thanks for helping me clarify my point.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Charlie -
I'm going to challenge the idea that the sharpest image is the same
thing as the "highest possible quality"...
Sometimes it is, sometimes it ain't. It all depends on the
requirements of the project and the desires of the creatives involved
with fulfilling it...
