Another 3.5/55 micro on D700
I somehow always struggle this distance with this lens. It should be sharper, but somehow I fail to get most out of this lens. Possibly, lens may have some alignment issue. One day, I may seek another copy. Love the ligtweigh, and of course, it can shoot real close.

It could just be weak at distance -- some lenses are like that. I feel that way about the Rok 85/1.4 -- it's great at portrait distance (since it IS a portrait lens) but it tends to lose something at distance, even stopped down. Have never been a fan of it when I use it for landscape shots.

The 55/3.5 Micro is definitely better close in that at infinity, but my experience is it's still very good at infinity. Like many macro lenses, it does get a little touchy to focus at longer distances.
That said, I've mostly shot it on film or DX, I never had one during my previous FX experiences.
I've got one now (AI version) and a D800, so we'll see.

It is possible, but I feel like I have seen enough infinity shots from 3.5/55 micro in the forum but they did not give me that impression. It may be the 'grass is greener' situation, or it could be that indeed my copy may be a bit weak at infinity. Since this lens is usually found at pretty reasonable price, I might give a another copy a try.

All versions. I have owned Nikon, Pentax and I think one other mount and all 3 were just okay at infinity. Not horrible or flawed but less impressive than at portrait distance. I think I just didn't like how it renders on an "infinite DOF" shot.
Edit...sorry I think they were unchipped but I MAY have had a chipped version. I can't remember!!

Was just wondering since I had both the chipped and unchipped Rok 85 f/1.4 and sold off the chipped one, kept the older. Also have the AF-D Nikon and the AI-s Nikon 85 f/1.4 as well. Maybe I'll take them all to my "Testing Center" to see.
