Setup
Camera: Sony A6300, model # ILCE-6300
Sensor size: 23.5 × 15.6 mm. APS-C. 28.21 mm diagonal. 3.92 micron sensor pitch
Flash: Godox TT350s wireless flash x 2 with one Godox X1s 2.4G wireless flash transmitter

A series of images was shot with each lens in 10 micron steps, and the sharpest image was chosen for center, edge, and corner Photoshop at 100% actual pixel view. All images were shot as a single RAW files and processed in PS CC with all noise reduction and lens correction turned off, all settings were zeroed out (true zero) and the same settings were used for all of the images. All of the images shown here are single files.
Test target
This test is being broken up into sections for clarity. I am posting the lenses here in worst to best order.
Canon MP-E 65mmm f2.8 105x Macro Photo Lens vs Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 Scanner Lens
The MP-E 65 was shot with a Sigma MC-11 adapter (no glass) from f/2.8 to f/4 where it started to go soft. f/3.5 was the sharpest aperture at 2x. If anyone would like to see the other apertures with the MP-E, I can post them.

Edge
Corner
The resolution in the MP-E 65 crops isn't bad but its shame that even on a small APS-C sensor the corners are already dropping in quality. Lateral CAs are also present in all the crops also.
The Minolta crops speak for themselves.
