Bill,
I know exactly squat about testing lenses, but I have tested products in the past.
So here's my firm-grasp-of-the-obvious take on it.
1. set up a rock-solid mount for your camera.
2. set up a known target that shoes what you want to test
3. control the lighting
4. bang off the shots with the various lenses and keep careful notes
5. examine the the results at 100% and keep careful notes
Another thought: DXO has a bunch of lens tests, including "the best lenses for your [name of camera here]"
Have you had a look at those?
Cheers, Jock
PS -- Those shots look razor sharp to me. Honestly, I don't a problem.
