Soo, here are a few shot with High Res.

This one is the best for me: everything is in sharp focus, and within the DOF. The fine edges of the inner flower parts have excellent resolution.

Another one at 48mp

Have you stopped down more than f/8? If you are concerned about diffraction, run some tests.

A good test is to photograph a cactus with tiny spines. As you stop down, you will see at what point the tips of the spines become less defined.

Other subjects will not be as obviously affected. You will learn how much you can stop down with different subjects.

Do you use the lens as a normal lens as well as macro? I think it is a wonderful focal length combination!
