I did this once. Set up some USAF targets and shot a bunch of my lenses at 20 times focal length. Yikes, at f22 you couldn't tell the difference if I had not labled the target as to which lens it was. Even my cheapo angulon was great. I did the f stop thing too and examined the results with a MICROSCOPE. You could see defraction start to set in at f64. But not with the naked eye. So my conclusion is that just about any lens is way better than I am. Stop sweating it and buy a tripod. DOF will be your major problem and f64 helps here.
