So-so “SWEET SPOT” is not so standard for new bodies like 7d2 or any other that has a dense pixel , cause thee diffraction is kicking in like f5.6 or 1 more step… and diffraction is killing it .

As a corollary of the hyperfocal distance shooting mentioned (which will you give you an “acceptable” degree of in-focus detail, rather than an “optimal” degree) you can also suggest focus stacking. Obviously that’s common practive and critical for macro, but it can significantly improve results for landscape shooting, too.

One shot for the foreground, one at infinity – both at the optimal aperture, rather than fully stopped down where diffraction softening will result – blend in post, and you’ll have much crispier detail than could be achieved with any single exposure.
