Well, I don't know anymore, but you need to look at the original files.
There are two bottles with the word Luna - one behind and one in front of the center of the target. The focus point is the word Fructal. You can see that Luna, whether in front or behind Fructal is equally in focus.
To me this says that the focus point is on the word Fructal.
The important thing to note is that the corners are definitely sharper than the center.
I have more than 30 Nikkors and this is the only lens where the center is softer than the corners.
Maybe I am expecting too much but to me the word Fructal - the center - is not just soft but plain wrong.
I can't see how at f8 the corners can be sharper than the center.
"Did you ever manage to get those christmas euphorbiae to bloom again".
I think they did but to be honest I didn't notice them there until you mentioned it. Maybe I should stop worrying about lenses and try to smell the flowers more.
