About two weeks after I got my K20, camera and bigma both fell off my
monopod onto asphalt. the bigma didn't seem too much the worse for
wear. It's a little stiff for adjusting focal length, but that's not
always a bad thing. It tends to stay where I put it. When I was
looking at my Jupiter+moon photos, I noticed that the bigma photos
weren't as sharp as the tamron adaptall plus two teleconverters. I
then remembered that for the past couple of years I've always been a
bit disappointed in the sharpness of the photos I got with it. The
bigma is supposed to be a fairly sharp lens, but how sharp is
"fairly"? I just did some quick and dirty test shots with it, at a
variety of ISOs and shutter speeds. Most of these are 1:1 crops,
with a couple showing the full frame.
Is my lens tweaked, or am I just looking too closely at the pixels?

I've never dropped mine, and I think images at 500 are pretty soft.
