A bit impractical as far as PDML goes. But thank you for taking a look.
I had to look at them quite a few times, making sure my eyes were free
of excess liquid, and my glasses perfectly clean, before I was able to
pick out the two best, and the best, given the conditions. Don't think
it would be any better on a tripod, given Anti-shake and shutter
speeds from 1/500 to 1/1000.
I concentrated on the top bolt of the sign. Compared that to the
sharpness of the flowers against the evergreen to see if back focus
was bad. Checked the two leaves that were closest to the sign on the
upper right hand side of the octagon. I tried making it larger, but
they started to fall apart rather than getting closer. They were only
1/6 of the size of the sensor widthwise, less in the vertical dimension.
I've re-cropped, to simplify. Take another look and give me your best
guesses again please.

As viewed on the web they all look the same to me - too close to call.

I shot my local stop sign from my deck this afternoon. Six different
lenses. Auto-focused second push on the release on the stop sign,
center spot, center weighted exposure, similar focal lengths, anti-
shake on, MTF mode.

If you go through images 1 thru 6, then go back and start over, they
will be in your cache, and load much faster. Makes it easier to
compare.
I'd like to hear from a few of you as to which stop sign you think
is
sharpest. I know what I think, but...
Based on the images presented, I cannot make any practical choice.
They all look about the same.
