[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2955674, member: 93138"] 30+ years ago the owner of the shop that I worked in taught me to look at leaves on a tree at some distance. He had me start in the middle of the glass and get the leaves sharp, then move the scope so that the leaves are at the EDGE to the glass. He also taught me to do this test at both extremes of any variable power setting, and to preferably do all of this shopping at dusk or close to it. Most any semi-decent glass grinder can produce lens' that give a sharp image in the middle of the lens, but only a really good grinder can give you the same image all the way across the lens at any power setting.
