Well sharpness is one of the thing I personally care. :-)
The websites like 'PZ' which provides data on sharpness are pretty useful to come to any decision before I buy a lens or two, but in many instance I do not own the body which they use for those test and in that case, it will be very interesting to acquire the sharpness data by myself.
I may be ignorant that sharpness does not depend upon camera body, but I do not know that yet.

Why would you care about the maximum sharpness? More important to a photograph is the chosen focal length and the chosen DOF. Even contrast is more important...
So, if you still care about sharpness, it must be because you feel you can SEE the maximum sharpness, right?
Then it is not hard to do... just make photos at different distances with different aperture settings, and look at the photos. Since you feel it is important because you can see it, just see it... Simple, really.
