legendary 55mm micro nikkor
The 55mm AIS Micro Nikkor lens is legendary for it's sharpness at every aperture. It has long been used as a standard to judge others lenses that followed it. As most all AIS lenses, it's built like a tank and with normal care is meant to last a lifetime. It can be used as a everyday carry normal lens, but it's real strengths are it's close focus ability. It's not considered fast at F2.8 but when using it in a close focus macro range DOF is thin and the 2.8 is appreciated. My purpose for my purchase is to use it for close focus portraits in mostly B&W on film to produce prints. My copy of the lens is in very good condition and I have no doubt it will perform to my expectations. Also the lens can be had on Ebay currently for a modest price around $100. which represents a incredible value given it's status as a bench mark for quality and sharpness for other lenses that it has achieved in history.

I sent it back
The focusing ring was way, way to stiff for normal use and that wasn't stated in the comments on the lens. You couldn't look through the view finder and focus at the same time it was so stiff.

A forever lens...
Tough build with crisp aperture clicks, a smooth long throw makes fine focus easy. This is a great addition on a Fuji XE1 with K&F adaptor .. images are super sharp especially in the mid stops .. and a bargain... just what I've been looking for... this superbly engineered metal and glass piece of art, Nikon built a forever lens in the early 1980s .. Bravo

A good manual focus macro lens
This macro lens is very sharp and has beautiful bokeh. It works nicely on my fuji x-e2 with an adapter, as the manual focus is easy to read and the exposure is automatic when the camera is set to aperture priority. My only complaint is the focus is stiff at first, but loosens up with use.

Good old manual sharpness
One of the best examples of old manual lens without the drawbacks of the "oldness". Sharp even wide open, smooth focusing with almost no backlash - a pleasure to work with. Decent closeup capabilities (wouldn't call 1:2 a macro as for macro it should be at lease 1:1). Also can be used as great general purpose 50-ish lens. This will surely take place in my collection.

Superb Nikkor 55mm Macro
This has always been one of my all time favorite Nikkor lenses!! And, it's exciting to have latched onto one again. It will be used on my newly acquired N90s. This lens arrived in super nice condition, very clean inside and out!! The aperture adjustments are snappy, and focusing is very smooth - perfect tension. ..I could not be happier!!

Keeper! Super sharp and very useful.
The images from it are sharp! Manual focus was very easy to get accurate focusing. Built like a tank; and very pleasant to use. For those who have never focused macro using a traditional manual focus lens; you will be shocked at how pleasant of an experience it is. Using it on my Nikon D600, with live view; I can zoom in and get super accurate focusing, images are sharp, crisp; and has great bokeh to boot. Highly recommended!

Nikon Micro 55mm f2.8 AI-S
Lens is sharp with no visible distortion. Focusing ring operates slowly allowing for finite, sharp adjustments. If considering a similar manual focus Zeiss macro lens, this would be a great bargain alternative. For portrait work the 55mm f2.8 AI-S standard lens would be better suited for faster focusing.

Reasonably fast & very sharp
This lens replaces my "normal" i.e. 50mm lens and is a great macro, portrait and "normal" lens. Because the front glass surface is recessed in the lens body, it doesn't require a filter for protection, which helps to avoid ghosts & flare in direct sunlight and stray light from artificial light sources. In combination with my fast 35mm f2 Nikkor, this covers 90% of my photos.
