Troubleshooting

Image is not sharp.

Ensure the lens is properly focused. Check the focus ring and adjust as necessary. Also, make sure that the aperture is not set too wide if you are not getting the desired depth of field.

Vignetting is noticeable.

Vignetting is more pronounced at wider apertures. Stop down the aperture (e.g., f/2.8 or higher) to reduce vignetting. Post-processing can also help to correct vignetting.
