Sweet Spot Squared

Star-shaped ice cream sprinkles made a great test for my macro lens's sweet spot. The stars are approximately 2 mm across and I scattered them on a piece of black fibreboard.

 

I tested my lens from an aperture of f/3.5 to f/40 in 1/3 f-stop increments and found that the optimum sharpness (unsurprisingly) was between f/8 and f/11 with f/10 being about the sharpest.

 

Happy Macro Monday everyone, I'm now off to use those sprinkles on a bowl of ice cream!
