Some time ago, I asked about the quality of a macro lens as a general
purpose lens.  Lenses & Lens Systems from the Nikon Handbook Series 
on the 55mm micro-nikkor: "Originally designed for close-distance
photography with an image ratio range of 1:1 to infinity, this is probably
the sharpest lens available for general photographic purposes, with center-
to-edge resolving power exceeding that of the finest photographic
emulsions."
