Yes and it is very subjective, some like higher contrast/sharpness
lens and some prefer higher resolution with less contrast. I'm the one
that like medium high color saturation, medium low contrast and high
resolution.
But not all Japanese companies favor resolution to contrast, the
general consensus here is Nikon lenses are on the high contrast side.
Some of their lenses may be of very good in resolution (like the Nikon
55mm Macro you have mentioned) but generally they are just so so.
