It's pixel peeping. I don't print hardly anything, for me it needs to look good on my 24 inch monitor! It's totally a problem with the shooting conditions that I'm figuring out how to address. I can shoot at acceptable ISOs with my manual focus 50mm f/1.7 but I have to bump it up to use the auto focus lenses I have. Increasing the light via flash is an option, but it's not my preferred option because it loses the mood of the pictures I'm taking.
I'll try and come up with some example shots tonight that show what I'm working with.
