That is a good point Eric talking about a point beyond the original
point, I forgot to add to my previous post that sharpness -in general-
is not the same at 1/250 that at 1/30 or 1/15 or 1/25, I like to shoot
some portraits at 1/50 (60) or 1/25(30) because most of the times it
adds a touch of softness I find convenient for those portraits.
