Good work. Sounds like you did it right.

I took 6 frames of each (18), 3 manual and 3

Run focus to infinity, focus, shoot, repeat.
There was no "best one", all 6 were the same,
this is a very easy target to focus on.
Bogen 3001 tripod with 322RC2 head, center
column fully down, 2 second self timer, fired
with remote cord.
Dogs were outside and I was sitting on a stool,
no vibration from the floor.
Target is mounted to a 3/4 piece of plywood, hung
on the wall.
I was pretty surprised by the DA, resolution and
color fringing.
This very nearly at it's closest focus distance,
perhaps not the fairest of tests.
Both the FA's focus much closer than this so
were well within their "comfort zone".

What focus method did you use? Are they off a tripod? Remote shutter
release?
Interesting, but I'd like to know more about the methodology.

Here are three of my "best" lenses pitted
against each other.
FA28-70, DA50-200 and FA24-90.
The 24-90 is from a wonderful list member
who got it replaced after a brief dunk in
water. 6 hours later I had it cleaned and
on the D and _I Love It!_
Dear wonderful list member, (you know who
you are) *** Thanks!!!!! ***
All at ~70mm, wide open (4, 4.5, 4.5) at a
bit over 1 meter from the USAF test target.
100%, cropped and white point set.
Saved for web so give each one a few lpmm
handicap. ;-)
Repeated several times to be sure the results
were correct.
A bit of a surprise to me.
