I quite concur.  I used to use my Nikkor 35mm f2.0 as my standard lens
but if I just take one it's now my 55mm 2.8 macro.  A wonderfully designed
lens, and the extra stop added a few years back makes it usuable for most
applications.  It's also available at a very reasonable price.  For the
record, I also have a 50 f 1.4 but it sits on a shelf most of the time. I
haven't used it in quite some time, but I remember thinking it was an
extremely sharp lens when I used to use it alot ten years ago.	So I guess
that also indicates the quality of the macro.
