SavageduckOver- or underexposure do not cause softness. This can come from incorrect focus, a soft lens or camera shake.
First are we talking sharpening in general, sharpening to overcome softness due to exposure settings, or issues with a particular lens?
Next, if it is a particular lens which lens? If you are talking about the 70-300mm, what brand and model, and mounted on which camera?The files usually are RAW. I don't have ready made examples. It's just something I have observed over time, that sometimes image softness can be very effectively eliminated with some sharpening, sometimes not. -- Alfred Molon
Is the softness you are experiencing over the entire image, or edge softness?
What post processing tools/software are you using?
Are these RAW image files or JPEG?
When in your workflow do you usually apply any particular sharpening method?
