Need some guidance on these soft + blur photos

[wspang]

Hello, I'm pang, from sabah malaysia. I notice that my photos always blur and soft, even i try using a higher shutter speed, higher f/number, and make sure really in focus only i snap. FYI, these photos took with Fm2n + 50 1.4, expired kodak ultramax 400 and also expired fuji superia 400. Need help n guidance

negative was scan with 9000F, then resize.

Most of them I see the sharpest part of the photo, so rather a misfocus?
One of the road is focused on the bottom left corner, and needs a deeper DOF.


Other than that, Focusing screen and the pressure plate on your camera in good shape?

Only on the bottom one do I see anything in focus, and even there it's not perfectly sharp (the ceiling). I think there could be something out of order with your camera or lens. Do you get the same results with a different lens?

Could be that the lens had been dropped or bumped at some time and the elements are not aligned.
