Any tips to sharpen up the lens quality? For context i’m shooting on the Sony 70 to 200 first generation lens. Typically shooting between 1/1000 and 1/2000 shutter speed with f8 aperture. ISO fluctuating based on light. I feel like the photos look decent all the way zoomed out but if I wanted to crop it in to really highlight the person on the wave it starts to blur up a little bit.

Is there a reason for this, and wh…
