Those tests sound well-designed. Question: Manually focus each camera on the targets, or use AF? It seems that either way introduces a potential variable. I'm thinking that magnified manual focus would be best.

I agree with magnified manual focus. This would remove a variable when shooting multiple frames with re-framing whilst keeping focus unchanged.

In most cases, we are trying to find differences between the centre and corners and between different corners. So a slight misfocus is not life and death if it is the same across the compared shots.

The truly obsessive would then move on to shimming lenses
