Every lens has a sweet spot. Sweet spots are never found wide open.
Example: my fastest lens ( not lowest, like PP refers to it) is a 50mm 1.4. The sweet spot is at 2.8 any wider and it just isn’t going to be tack sharp.
There is a lot more to depth of field than aperture. Time to google and brush up on some basics. Good luck
oh and camera clickers exercise is a good one, be sure to give it a try.
also you can find your lens sweet spot by shooting in AV setting up a tripod to eliminate factors such as camera shake. And shooting an object at all stops and comparing.
