On a 30D, the focus was always dead-on, wide-open at every focal length.
Perfect!

IS, IMAGE STABILIZATION baông chồng to intro & index.
Read Why IS is Important khổng lồ underst& what these ratings mean.
I fired 65 shots, casually (not match-grade) hand held, at each focal length, or about 3 - 5 rounds at each shutter tốc độ và focal length. I used a 30D and looked at the results at 100%, which is a very high magnification.
Holding more carefully I could have sầu gotten better results.
Viewed at lower resolution, like what you"d see in a 4x6" print, you"d get much, much better results.
As you read at Why IS is Important, some of my shots at một nửa second were perfectly sharp, too. These are averages.
TIP: In dyên ổn light, fire several shots & piông xã the sharpest. It"s a random sự kiện, so if you fire enough shots, you"ll eventually get a sharp one even ar speeds of 1 second!
17 mm: Always sharp at 1/8, not sharp at 1/4
35 mm: sharp 50% of the time at 1/8 và 1/4. not sharp at 50%.
80 mm: Always sharp at 1/8, not sharp at 1/4.

SHARPNESS baông chồng to lớn intro & index.
So long as you stop down a stop or two, your technique will be your biggest barrier to sharp photos. I have a page on How to lớn Get Sharp Photos.
Here are my observations on an 8 MP 20D. Letters correspond to center - edge. Possible ratings are E - VG - G - F - P. These are subjective sầu. Don"t fret over differences between adjacent grades.
Diffraction is usually the sharpness-limiting factor for all lenses, especially digital SLRs, at about f/11 và above. See also How Sharpness Varies with Aperture.
