From my own experience 50mm 1.8 is bloody sharp at apertures below 2.8, I doubt the 60mm micro would be sharper.
The only issue I had with this lens (not revelant in this case) - the minimum focusing distance of around 0.5m, which might be annoying in some situations. Can be 'sort of' fixed with $5 reversal ring, lol <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Can be "better" fixed with an extension tube, like a 12mm and/or 25mm one. The lens remains normally usable, just the focus distance range "collapses", giving you close up or macro abilities depending on the size of the extension.
