This is definitely the sharpest lens that I own. It's fantastic.
I really should get it out more.

Thanks for the comments. I wish I could say it was my great technique that produced that image, but I really don't know why it came out like that! I wish I could reproduce that result!

I have this lens and it is one of my favorite to use.
Very sharp and excellent contrast and colors. To be perfect it needed go to 1:1 of magnification.
Here are a couple of abstract/texture shots with it:

I took the 55mm out snowshoeing in very flat light on Sunday and exposed for the people. I found the effect interesting -- very little detail in the snow.

These are wonderful lenses. It amazes me that many people think micro or macro lenses are only good for close up images. While they are designed to take such photos, you can also get superb results when using them as normal lenses, as this thread shows.

I love my 55mm Micro! The sharpness of this lens never disappoints. This is a Spiny Murex shell from the island Saipan (where I was born, about 50 miles south of Guam) in a light tent, this time illuminated only from above. The shell appears large in the image but is in all actually less than 5" long. It is very rare to find a Murex in this pristine a condition, it is a treasured item! The shell was placed on a piece of glass to add the reflection

I now have two of these. One is completely beat up -- just right to take hiking. This is in a meadow in the Wild Sky Wilderness in Washington state with a Nikon D5200.

I replaced my venerable old 55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor with the AIs f/2.8 model a few years ago. At the time, that 55/3.5 was one of the two sharpest lenses I own (the other being a Tamron 90mm macro). But one quick comparison shot between the two made a believer out of me. I wouldn't have thought it was possible if someone said they had a lens sharper than my 55/3.5 unless they showed me. Well, the 55/2.8 showed me. It is one incredible optic. I don't own a 100mm or 105mm Nikon macro lens, but I do own a 200mm f/4 AIs Nikon macro, and it isn't anywhere near as sharp, which is too bad, really.
