Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Otus Distigon APO Lens
This is another lens that is not a close-up or macro lens, and it is
even more expensive at $3,990.00, but absolutely worth every
penny. This lens has a minimum-focus distance of 19.7" (.50m) and
a healthy focus-throw. I can get away with adding the Nikon PK-
11A 8mm extension tube to it, which shortens the near-focus
distance, but at a sacrifice of image quality wide-open. I have to
stop the lens down to about f/4 to keep the sharpness, but that is
not too bad for bokeh.
So there you have the two best lenses I have ever found, neither
ideal for my work, but both idea for my perception of "sharpness."
