Personally, I use a lens hood to support my lighting gear like my diffuser, even though it cuts down on my working distance. macro lens with me throughout the rest of my weekend and I shot anything that I thought would look good through the 60mm lens perspective! Despite my copy looking banged up, over the years I have not noticed any deterioration in its actual performance – neither sharpness nor its autofocusing ability. Internal focusing mechanism maintains the overall lens length while focusing for easier use when photographing close-up subjects.

Tiny flowers with intricate details can be captured handheld using in-camera focus stacking at surprisingly slow shutter speeds. For my amateur purposes the Panny is much faster in AF, easier to use and simply just plain fun to take close-up photos with compared to the longer Oly lens - especially when it comes to insects on the move or in flight. and still get very good depth-of-field broadens the subject matter available for me to shoot in natural light. That’s why many of the sample photos in this articles are close-up photos rather than “true” macro photos with 1:1 magnification or greater. During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts.When it comes to the fine detail, this is a very high-quality lens, yet being spoiled by a 300mm/ 4 or 200mm/ 2. The 75mm is often just a little tight for me, and 40-45 is sometimes a little wide in terms of perspective for my taste…but 60mm is just right.

With this lens and my FL-600R, I was able to enter a realm of photography that I have never experienced. The farther I have to be from the subject, the worse the lit-up scene, just as difficult the lighting is when you are too close. The last “feature” of the lens is a reproduction ratio scale which is located on the top of the lens when mounted to a camera body. Single Focal Length Splashproof, Dustproof Construction ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating Bright f2.

Once you’ve gained a little confidence, head outside to try some inanimate subjects in environments where live subjects might be. and other ‘bigger’ micro 4/3 lenses like the 45-175 (which is amazingly compact for it’s focal range, but still largish compared to the smaller primes), and the 7-14 f/4, which is, again, very small for a lens of that width, but large compared to many of the other m4/3 options. To that end, the longer the focal length of the macro lens (and the smaller the size of the lens), the better. The switch is very useful, especially in cases where an ordinary lens would try to focus on the background instead of the small subject near the lens.

Another benefit of the working distance of this lens, is that it gives lots of space for your external diffuser to not get in the way. Stopping down beyond f/16 results in a marked increase in fringing towards the edges of the frame, so care may need to be taken photographing high contrast subjects using very small apertures. Weighing only 185g this lens is incredibly lightweight and compact when compared to equivalent telephoto macro lenses for 35mm or APS-C system cameras. It is so small, it easy to underestimate or doubt at first glance, but its performance is far greater than its size indicates. When I first received this lens for testing I thought I would simply test it for a few weeks and send it back without a thought, like I do with most of the products I review, but the Olympus 60mm Macro was different.

Normally, having just one lens option to choose from isn’t ideal – but here, it’s not an issue because the lens performs so well anyway.
