Max Macro: Camera Lenses

I bought this lens for my OMD-10 five months ago but have only recently started using it. This lens turned me into a macro enthusiast, although I'm still learning. I haven't taken it off my camera yet, and the only other lens I'll eventually buy is the 75-300 for telephoto. I have criticism that Olympus does not provide a user manual, although you can buy one. And there is no hood in the kit, so you need to buy again. My other disappointment is that I bought a camera, two kit lenses and then this lens from Revain and a day or two after purchase the price dropped $50-$100 per item. This is very frustrating and I would like to see more stable prices. This is why I've been waiting to buy a 75-300 and the lens just went up $90. This made me a little wary of future purchases of Olympus equipment. However, let me reiterate that this camera is a pleasure to carry and use and thanks to the YouTube videos I have learned how to operate all the gear. If you have an Olympus or Panasonic MFT camera make sure you get a good macro lens and this one is great. Macro photography is a lot of fun and you can do it anywhere, even at home. In the example shots you see the strawberries up close and then the macro shot as close as possible. Same goes for lavender, at three different distances to give you an idea of how close you can get and depth of field. It was windy when these shots were taken, but I managed to get some pretty clear shots. However, a tripod and no wind would have been better. This lens is very light and fits perfectly on the camera in its compact carrying case. I highly recommend the 60mm.
