Thanks for your 2p worth Alex. Can appreciate your point of view.
Im not so keen on in camera sharpening. Want different amounts of sharpening depending on subject, to slow to change camera settings.
Also like to be able to sharpen one part of a picture different to other parts. Why? Because I can.
Started in the 1970s with a black & white darkroom & loved it, would not want to go back. Digital offers me so much more.
Just need the self control not over use it.
