You are right, the camera display is not the place to judge the sharpness of the photo. However, if you know that the lens you are using has a sweet spot, you can use that information to shoot in that range.

I'll point out that with the exception of the prominent barrel distortion at the wide end of a wide/normal zoom lens, aperture is going to have a much more significant 'sweet spot' effect than focal length. On an 18-55mm kit lens, for example, going from f/4 to f/8 will yield a much bigger improvement in sharpness than any focal length you might choose.
OK ---- Thanks
