Wow, Willy, some great shots showing of the incredible quality of the 55 Micro. It has long been a favorite of mine. In fact, I own two just like yours, one of which shows much, much more wear than yours. But the other is just as clean, plus it was AI'd by Nikon. I also have an old one with the metal focusing collar --- made in 1965 according to its S/N -- which was my very first 55 Micro. I'm not rightly sure anymore how I wound up with three. Just good deals I couldn't pass up, I reckon.
The 55 f/3.5 Micro Nikkor is without question one of the best deals out there for Macro lenses. They're plentiful, thus they tend to be undervalued -- or at least underpriced.
I don't have any spectacular macro images that measure up to the quality of yours. But I have used mine a lot for duplicating slides with my NEX 7. It is an incredibly good optic for this, delivering incredibly good results. The following images were duped using my old, 1965 vintage 55 Micro.
With my NEX 7, the 55/3.5 Micro is sharp enough to even resolve Kodachrome grain! _________________ Michael

I have 3 copies as well all pre-AI, because you can still found some so so cheap for such quality.
Most macro are with the M2 extender tube.
In a few days I will compare it with and other rare gem, the miranda 55mm 3.5 macron, I finally found one !!
Thank you for the slide tips, I will give a try. _________________ Sony A7

There are some different versions of this excellent lens, including one which retains its sharpness through to infinity, which my copy does. It is the sharpest lens that I have ever owned - at any distance. |

Great shots! Is there any significant difference optically speaking between the versions? Nikon gear is one huge gap in my knowledge base! _________________ photos are moments frozen in time |

I believe you're talking about the one in which the iris opens and closes slightly depending on the depth of focus. I have one of these. Mine was made in 1965. It is my oldest, and has the metal focusing collar. These lenses are called "compensating" and were made from 1963 to 1968? according to the Nikon lens S/N and info Bible at:
