Yep, one of the all-time greats, and it can often be picked up for an inexpensive amount on eBay. I have an early 55/3.5 Micro Nikkor (about 1965, as I recall) that I've owned since around 1990 or so and I've always been pleased with the results it delivers.

Until quite recently, the 55/3.5 was at the heart of my slide duplication outfit, and it worked magnificently. I'd set it to f/8 to give me enough depth of field so that minor variations in the slides surface wouldn't affect sharpness. F/8 is also right in the middle of that lens's sweet spot. I write "until quite recently" because recently I've replaced it with a 55/2.8 AIs, which I believe is even sharper! Hard to believe, but tests I've conducted indicate that the 55/2.8 is just a tad sharper. So it gets the nod for slide dupe duty. Cool

Nonetheless, I've owned my old beat-up 55/3.5 for so long that I've become rather attached to it. It's such a good lens, and for the price I could get for it on eBay, it's just not worth it to me. I'd rather keep it.

Here are some photos with the macro extender added. Hard for me to to use without a tripod.
