Close Focus

51mm and 28mm were focused as close as possible. The camera was moved back until 75mm was the same size in the viewfinder as 51mm looked.

With flash
"100%" crops (Cropped, but not resized at all.)
300D Digital Rebel, sharpness 0, saturation 0, contrast 0
On a tripod, mirror lockup, remote release.
Several attempts at each aperture, chose the sharpest of the three (3 at 75mm, 2 at 51mm and 28mm)
Put in manual focus, then to infinity, then back to AF for each shot
