Very soft photos from f/1.4 50mm lens? Hey folks, thanks for taking a moment to read! I recently photographed a concert and noticed everything shot on my Nikkor AF f/1.4 50mm came out very soft and hazy. Here’s some examples (the first shot of each is converted right to JPG from Lightroom, the second is my attempt to salvage it). Both shots were taken on my Nikon D7500, ISO at 1600, …

Portrait lens question(s) To start off, I currently have a Sony A7IV with a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and a Sigma 100-400 f/5-6.3.
