Hi all!
After a lot of online research, I recently bought a new lens, the sigma 18-250mm f3,5-6.3DC Macro OS HSM. However, since having bought this lens, I haven't been pleased with the overal sharpness of the images. It is not that the pictures are horribly out of focus, but they all seem a little soft. Of course, the easiest explaination would be blaiming my new lens, but I am reluctant to do so. Some online research gives me a vast array of possible explainations, one of which is too high expectations. I have attached some pictures I recently took, and I hope you can tell me if they are not as sharp as they should be. I have not zoomed in.

IMG_9753 — Postimage.org (f14 1/60 iso 100)
IMG_9025 — Postimage.org (f22 1/15 iso 100 tripod)
IMG_1573 — Postimage.org (f10 1/8 iso 100 tripod)
For the last two, I might have overestimated my tripod (very old), but for the other two the shutterspeeds seem fast enough for a hand held wide angle shot.
Thanks for your help, I hope the links work
