The MicroNikkor 60mm is an old lens. I does not have Nikkor new auto-focus-S. But it surprised me for sharpness. My only other macro lens is an 40 plus years old PentaxMacro 50mm. The auto-focus of the Nikkor 60mm really help.
I gave up comparing lenses from charts for a long long time. I am too old and prefer to spend my time photographing. Reviews from many experts in the net are more easy. I did not regret when I bought two Nikkors last year, the 80-400VR and the micro-nikkor 60mm. I do not think I shall need any other lens in a foreseeable future. The 80-400 for birds in the morning and evening and the micro-nikkor 60mm for insects at night.
