Replying to Ideas on the Nikon 55mm F2.8 Macro lense

Hey guys,

Right now I'm in the process of the buying a Nikon 55mm macro lens.  I'm wondering if anyone of you guys have used this lense, know anyone who has, etc.  It seems like a nice piece of glass from the reviews I've looked at so far.  This lens got my attention because of the deal I'm getting ($125), but it looks like if I made the purchase on this I wouldn't need the 50mm lense.  Also, the owner has had it for 6 years (no previous owners) and he claims it to be in great condition.  Anything you know about this lense/any ideas in general.
thanks!
